Two web pages can share exactly the same HTML content and still look completely different - one plain and unstyled, the other polished and professional. The difference is CSS, and this training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy teaches participants how to control that difference themselves, formatting and designing web pages using CSS software techniques.

CSS keeps visual formatting - colors, spacing, layout - separate from the written content of a page, which lets designers change how a site looks without touching a single word of its text. The course also covers the basics of information security, since every website that CSS is applied to still runs on an information system that needs the same standards of protection against unauthorized access as any other.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Format and design web pages using CSS.
• Separate page content from its visual formatting for easier maintenance.
• Add colors and images to pages the way they choose.
• Manage multiple pages and process each one independently.
• Track CSS releases and updates and apply the advantages of the latest techniques.

This course is designed for:

• Computer, internet and information-systems department managers in institutions and companies.
• Developers of information centres and information technology within companies.
• Professionals working across the software sector and its various languages.
• Technology-development and network-security specialists.
