Macromedia Dreamweaver: Available for both Macintosh and Windows computers.

If Dreamweaver is not installed on your College-owned computer, contact the Help Desk to request an installation.

If you will editing images frequently, you should purchase either Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks.

Photoshop is better for general image editing, including those that will be used in print publications or PowerPoint presentations. Fireworks is optimized specifically for the Web, and therefore is less useful for images that will be used outside of the Web. If your primary goal is to create good-looking Web pages, use Fireworks.

If you have many text documents (Word, Pagemaker, Quark, etc.) that you wish to present on the Web and maintain their print layout, you should purchase a copy of Adobe Acrobat. This will enable you to create PDF files for installation on your Web site.

If you will be doing these activities infrequently, you can use these programs at a variety of campus locations, including CITS Media Services, located in Palamountain Hall. Contact the CITS Help Desk if you desire your own copies. They will check the adequacy of your machine to run these programs and advise you on how to obtain copies.

CITS conducts training workshops as well as one-on-one training opportunities for all of the above applications. You can view their schedule at the training site.
