SharePoint Designer and FrontPage training for web authors

Note: the Introduction to FrontPage course is in the process of being replaced by a SharePoint Designer course, as the latter is now the supported Microsoft web authoring package.

Please don't confuse this with SharePoint itself - SharePoint Designer is different. It's for editing websites. Goodness knows why they do this...

For the schedule of courses, please see the ISS training web pages.

The SharePoint Designer courses are for members of staff, last approximately two and a half hours, and serve as a brief introduction to the program. Subjects covered include importing files into a website, managing your website, an introduction to cascading stylesheets (CSS), and creating and editing web pages.

Demand for these courses is always high, so it's a good idea to book as early as possible. Members of staff who wish to be added to the waiting list for this course should e-mail Web and Learning Technology (walt@essex.ac.uk) or join the waiting list online (password protected).

An online guide to using SharePoint Designer is also available to provide support for those already using the program, or moving to it from FrontPage.
