Dreamweaver Audio and Video Tutorials Tips And Tricks

Don't falsely advertise what you are offering
October 18, 2002 by Kevin none

Well I read this post and while I do not need tutorials on these items I thought I would check it out to send to some friends that could use them.

What a joke....you say "I have put together a series of videos that you can download onto your computer for Dreamweaver users. Ideally I would like to upload them here but as they are a few MBs, it probably isnt realistic.They arent text tutorials either."

What you forgot to say is you are selling access to these tutorials.  Do not make it sound like you are offering free tutorials when you are not.

If they are anything like the "reference" flash movies then you have a lot to learn about making and e-Learning product and these are not worth the $29 you charge.

 

Nice try....don't be a sucker..if you want e-Learning training go to a good vendor and buy it or get a book.

Never read a manual again. 7,800 people have already designed their own web site by watching and listening to these dreamweaver tutorial videos online , why don't you join them.

Well there must be 7,800 really desperate people out there. The whole point of this site and the forums is help for free, and Tutorials are FREE.
Insider tricks? Are you certified in anything at all? Wouldn't think so personally, your so called Flash Intro looked nothing more than some crap text effects thrown together in Swish or similiar naff program.

Oh and did you ever read the manual yourself :)

I had an experience similar to the others who responded. I watched the three free videos. They are just little presentations, and you pick up a couple of procedural how-tos, but not within any context that makes the learning useful. No discussion of why you do what you do, or example of what not to do, or anything that helps a student understand the deeper levels of using a graphics application. On top of that, I feel that the website is quite unattractive. If Stephen creates such a site, why would I ever think he was in a position to teach me how to use a high-level graphic design application?
