Assignment 2: LASA 2: Creating Websites in Dreamweaver® & Google Sites

Description of LASA:

As a final assignment in this Web Authoring Tools course, you will identify one organization and create two websites that meet their needs: one utilizing Adobe® Dreamweaver® and one utilizing Google Sites. You may utilize the same company and information you gathered for M3 Assignment 2 LASA 1, because the focus will be on developing the site. Lastly, you will write approximately a 3-page MS Word report comparing the two web-authoring tools.

Adobe® Dreamweaver®

Dreamweaver is an industry-leading web design software program that provides an intuitive visual interface for creating and editing HTML websites and mobile applications. With Dreamweaver, you can use a Fluid Grid Layout that facilitates cross-platform compatibility while creating adaptive layouts. Once finished, you can then simultaneously review designs with the enhanced Multiscreen.

Google Sites

Offered as part of the Google Apps Productivity suite, Google Sites can help anyone create a team-oriented site where multiple people can collaborate and share files. Google Sites is a versatile tool for advanced web designers as well as beginners.
