What people are saying:
“With any course that hasn't been updated in a couple of years, there were some parts that were no longer relevant to CC now - fluid grid layouts being one tool that has been replaced in Dreamweaver CC 2017. I would definitely take another course with this instructor.” -Jan Beasley
“I've taken 21% of the course, and so far, it has been fantastic. Admittedly, I am new to website building and know very little about coding and even less about css. I thought I would hate css, but the instructor is fantastic. He explains things in a clear-cut, concise manner. I am building a website for my church and took the job as webmaster. The old static site will soon be gone and a new, up-to-date, ‘live’ website will take its place. I can't wait to learn more!” –Dan Booth
“Very good; rate of instruction excellent; many pauses to illustrate potential destructive choices; very good and this is my fourth webinar.” -Walter Warren

The only thing I don't like it is using the old look, and that can be a bit confusing, however, no problem... great instructor, and good information.

This course is outdated, I wish I would have looked at the reviews. To trick people they did an "update" that is only included in the beginning. It says "It's annoying to be asked to leave a review" that's it. This course needs to be archived.

The version of Dreamweaver used is outdated, so I had to look elsewhere to figure out how to navigate the user interface. It was still fine until I got to Section 14, where the instructor has us use a template that doesn't exist in my version of Dreamweaver. I tried to use the openingtimes.html doc. in the class files, but that didn't work either. The doc was already altered, so I couldn't follow along to make the changes that were being displayed in the video lesson. The instructor does a good job explaining his lesson, but so many things don't match in the files & user interface that I spent more time looking online to find updated methods to do anything. Would recommend waiting until Simon Sez makes an updated course with updated course files. Edit. After being instructed to upload a template that wasn't in my version of Dreamweaver, I went off to learn how to create the template from scratch. At that point, I mostly didn't need the lesson anymore. But that still presented complications trying to follow along with the lesson. Complications that I likely could've avoided if the instructor hadn't tried to use a template to teach CSS Designer as apposed to teaching as he went, similar to how he did with HTML. I'm going to try my best to finish the rest of this course, but it'll be my last for Simon Sez.
