Enroll Now in Dominate Dreamweaver

As I mentioned in the video, I’ve spent the last 12 years in the web design business. What I didn’t tell you is that my minimum fee to design & build a website is $4,000 with the cost of many projects approaching $10,000 or more!

Now, if you’re reading this letter, you’re either looking to avoid that cost by creating a website yourself, or you’re hoping to earn that kind of money designing and building websites.

Unfortunately learning Dreamweaver can be a time consuming & frustrating task.

In contrast, enrolling in Dominate Dreamweaver allows me to be your personal guide through Dreamweaver. Rather than beating your head against the wall trying to learn through trial and error, or getting lost in dry technical jargon, you’ll be in the classroom learning from day one.

Using my step-by-step manual, “over the shoulder” videos and webinar sessions to make sure you’re never confused or lost, I’ll teach you to create fully functioning, interactive websites in just 12 weeks!

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what a couple of my former students have to say about previous versions of my course:

A friend and I took Jim’s class a few years ago at Meramec Community College. He taught the class in a thorough and thoughtful manner, beginning with how to setup and organize pages and graphics to how to get the site up on a server where the world can see it.

Both my friend and I are still using the skills we learned in Jim’s class to maintain our art-portfolio web sites (we are both professional illustrators). Thanks to Jim, I was able to build and update my own web site, which has given a new birth to my freelance illustration business. Thanks Jim!

Jim-

Hope you’re doing well. I’m keeping busy doing website design and coding. It probably accounts for 1/3 of my business these days and I credit you for teaching me all the right stuff.

You teach a great web design and coding class, even for an old guy like me.

I know I’ve said it before, but as someone who really enjoys teaching, it doesn’t get much better than that.

So what is covered in the course?

A graduate talks about what you’ll learn. 22 seconds

Over my years of using and teaching Dreamweaver, I’ve distilled the complicated program down to the essentials you need to know to build high quality websites. I focus on the “meat & potatoes,” explaining the important methods and concepts, as simply and quickly as possible.

Think of it as the “work smarter, not harder” method of learning Dreamweaver.

Dominate Dreamweaver will consist of 12 weekly modules containing:

• A digital text book broken into manageable weekly segments
• “Over the shoulder” style videos illustrating the crucial tactics and concepts
• Webinar sessions where I’ll answer any questions you might have
• Complimentary web hosting space on our student server
• 24/7 access to ALL course materials

Basically, I’m going to recreate the classroom experience without the limitations. You’ll be able to work through the course at your own pace and I’ll be there when you need me. Plus, the material is always available  online. So if life gets busy and you have to miss a class, you don’t have to resort to begging a classmate for notes just to catch up.

That’s one of the beautiful things about online learning; you can fit the course into your hectic schedule, not the other way around.

Now, we all know students who love to meticulously plan out their entire semester. For those folks I’ve included the following course syllabus which outlines the 12 weekly modules:

• Module 0: Jumpstart
• Module 1: Your first HTML page
• Module 2: Text formatting with CSS
• Module 3: CSS Layout
• Module 4: Images
• Module 5: Working with templates
• Module 6: CSS Menus
• Module 7: Behaviors (Javascript) & Spry widgets
• Module 8: Odds and ends
  • Highlighting the current page in menus
  • Tables and tabular data*
  • Spry Data Set tables
• Module 9: Forms
• Module 10: SEO (in Dreamweaver and beyond)
• Module 11: Favicons, CSS rollover images and video
• Module 12: Checking Your Site for Errors and Using Search in Dreamweaver

As with any syllabus there may be a few adjustments along the way but this should give you a clear picture of what to expect.

So what does all of this cost?

Students answer the question “Is it worth the money?” 4:10 minutes

There’s probably some fancy way I’m supposed to tell you the cost so it seems like pocket change but I’m a web designer, not a used-car salesman.

I’m offering the entire 12-week course for 3 payments of $149.95 or a one-time fee of $399.97 (which saves you $50.00).

I realize you’re probably not going to dig that out from between the sofa cushions but let me ask you a couple of questions before you decide whether or not this investment makes sense for you.

Can you imagine how many hours you’ll spend learning Dreamweaver on your own? Imagine time spent:

• On hold waiting for tech support to figure out how to set up Dreamweaver to access your web server.
• Googling topics like CSS positioning and Spry Datasets (if you can even figure out what to search for).
• Reading blogs (with no guarantee the author knows what he’s talking about).
• Participating in forums where no one agrees on the answer to your questions.
• Reading books for beginners, dummies and idiots – and good luck emailing the author with a question.

You’ll save hundreds of hours learning and using Dreamweaver by having:

• All this information in one place.
• The opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback.
• Access to a professional with 12 years of web design experience.

But let’s be wildly conservative and say your time is worth $20 an hour (if you can design websites, it’s worth a lot more) and you save ONLY 50 hours by taking this course. That’s $1000 or 250% of your original investment (a lot better than the Dow has been doing lately).

Looking at it another way, this course is equivalent to the three-semester hour course I taught at the college level. Three semester hours at our local public university will cost you more than double the $400 you’ll spend on this course.

And, if you’ve checked lately, you know you aren’t likely to find a course with an instructor who is a practicing professional web designer and an expert using the latest version of Dreamweaver.

Or, if you decide to go it alone, there’s the very real possibility that after a few days fighting with the program you’ll give in and hire a professional designer like myself to build a site for you or your company.

As I mentioned earlier the bare minimum price I’ll charge for a site is $4,000.

Would you rather pay 1/10th of my fee and be able to create and modify web sites yourself OR are you going to depend on expensive designers for every new site, redesign and update you make on your site?

Maybe you have endless hours and incredible patience or plenty of money to throw at web designers, but most people and companies I know, have neither right now.

That’s why I’m confident you’ll get a huge return on your investment in Dominate Dreamweaver.

Of course, if you’re on the other side of the equation – an aspiring web designer – the course will more than pay for itself when you send the invoice to your first client.

100% Money Back Guarantee

If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to enroll, I’m going to completely remove risk from the equation. If at any time during the first 30 days you decide Dominate Dreamweaver is not right for you, I’ll give you your money back.

It really is that simple. No hidden handling fees, no pro-rated portion of your money back or anything like that. If it’s not for you, let me know in the first 30 days, and I’ll refund 100% of your purchase.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not looking for a way to give away 4 weeks worth of teaching. I simply know that once you get started you’ll see this really is the quickest and easiest way to learn Dreamweaver and start developing websites.

So go ahead and give it try. You have absolutely nothing to lose and a professional website, valuable new skills, and possibly even a new career to gain.

Bonus!

What kind of sales letter would this be if I didn’t offer some kind of bonus? So, in memory of the dearly departed Billy Mays, “But wait, there’s more!”

When you enroll in Dominate Dreamweaver, I’ll throw in a free yearlong membership to our exclusive Dreamweaver forum. This will allow you to continue to exchange knowledge with other students AND be able to ask for (and receive) my help on your Dreamweaver projects well after the course is over.

Eventually we plan to open the forum to paying members at a price of at least $120 a year. So by itself that’s a great value but once again, the biggest value will be in the time you save.

Months after you take the course when you’re working on a site and come across an issue you can’t figure out, just drop a post about your problem into the forum and a fellow student or myself will be there to help you solve it.

This could easily save you 10 or 20 hours you’d spend trying to research and solve just a single issue! Over the years I’ve invested thousands of hours learning the information presented in this course. But just because I learned Dreamweaver the hard way, there’s no reason you should too.

Space is Limited!

One of the things that excites me most about offering this course online is that I can accept more than the 18 students I was limited to in the computer lab.

Unfortunately, we do still have to limit the number of students allowed in the course. This isn’t some marketing trick or anything like that. It’s the only way we can guarantee each student receives individual attention and quick responses in the forum.

So, while I’m not trying to pressure you, I do need to warn you that once we reached capacity we’ll have to close enrollment for several weeks until graduations allow us to open things up again.

Slots will be filled on a first come first serve basis and I’d hate for you to miss out so you’ll need to act quickly to secure your spot in the class.
