Web Design Classes for xTrain

I recently returned from spending a few days in Dallas, Texas, where I filmed four web design classes for a company called xTrain. These classes will be made available on the xTrain web site and are targeting toward anyone looking to increase their skills or learn new skills from the comfort of home.

My classes were part of a series called “Web Design Process.” This series is meant as a capstone for those who’ve already learned about Photoshop, HTML, Dreamweaver, and the other nuts-and-bolts classes. Instead of focusing on the little parts of web design, this series brings it all together and discusses the entire web design process from the first meeting with the client through testing and launch. The purpose is to give you a glimpse of how a typical web development project is structured, particularly for the freelancer or small-business worker.
Each class is 30-60 minutes in length, which means they are perfect to view at night (after the kids have gone to bed?!) or in between projects. These short segments are meant to give you a quick overview of an otherwise lengthy topic. Online resources provide ways to dive more deeply into a particular content area.

I had a lot of fun in the studio, and learned a lot about TV production. xTrain’s studio is top-notch and the staff definitely delivers professional products. Here’s a picture of me in the studio. For the final videos… you’ll have to stay tuned.
