After repeated requests from clients for Web site maintenance training, she began onsite Web training, which quickly blossomed into full-service Web site design and development training.

Heidi has a Master of Art in Visual Information Technologies from George Mason University. She may be contacted at heidi@digitaldivision.com.

During her presentation she compared Web site development software Macromedia Dreamweaver, Allaire HomeSite, and Microsoft FrontPage, and described the differences between Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, and Jasc Paint Shop Pro--the leading applications for Web graphics creation and manipulation.
