understandable. This is my third course and I have enjoyed all three."

possesses a full knowledge of the course he teaches. He is encouraging
and supportive. I never had to wait for more than 24 hours to get a
response to any of my class discussion posts."
"Craig Power is an excellent instructor. He is very detailed
in his explanations and the courses move at a near perfect pace. I
would be interested in any class Mr. Power was instructing."
"Extremely informative course taught in a fun and
easy-to-learn manner. I would definitely recommend this course with
this instructor to any student. I have taken quite a few courses with
Mr. Craig Power, and so far he is one of the best instructors I have
come across in my online classes."
"Great class. It has taken my web design ability to a new level."
"Great course and instructor. I like the format, the interaction with other students and the instructor."
"Great course! Really like the instructor. He is easy to
follow and completely explains concepts. Would take another course from
him anytime!"
"I am new to online courses, but very much enjoyed this
class. I found the information to be easy to digest, well-thought out,
pertinent, and cohesive. I would definitely recommend the instructor.
Thank you for providing this resource to the community at large."
"I am so grateful for this course. Web Page Design has been
something I have wanted to do for years, and no one would show me how.
The lessons were so easy to follow and presented in a way I could
understand. I have had several strokes and reading technical material
is hard for me to understandand retain. With your course, I have
remembered a lot of the info and have the printed lessons for
reference."
"I enjoyed this class very much. The instructor made each
lesson understandable and fun to go through. I would definitely
recommend this class, and would love to take another class from Mr.
Power."
"I feel like I have a very comprehensive understanding of
HTML and CSS. I enjoyed this class very much and would take one of
Craig Power's courses again."
"I found Creating Web Pages II very informative. The course
covered a lot of material, and everything was presented in a very clear
manner, making it easy to understand. A truly enjoyable class. My
thanks to Craig Power and the "ed2go" people for this educational
offering."
"I have really enjoyed both Creating Web Pages I and II, and
can't wait to start my next online course. There is lot's to learn, but
retaining the printed versions of each lesson has made a wonderful
reference tool. Thank you for another enjoyable and informative course."

instructor has a great style and is able to explain everything in a way
that is easy to understand and follow from start to finish."

and my learning experience was gratifying. I will seek out classes with
Craig for future training. This series of classes will help me to
create an income producing web site as I had hoped. Thank you, you are
greatly appreciated!"
"I truly enjoyed this course. Considering from no knowledge
about webpages at all to post a professional designed webpage on the
internet in such a short time is remarkeable. Thank you to the course
instructors for all their patience and great teaching skills. I won't
be hesitating at all to recommend this course to anybody interested."
"I've taken a handful of courses from ed2go - they've all
been good and I will be taking more. This is one of the best
instructors I've had; he was very knowledgeable and helpful and ALWAYS
followed up on students' questions and comments. He also had a very
upbeat and encouraging tone to his messages."
"The course and instructor were excellent. I have taken
several courses from Craig Power and find that his style and
presentation are easy to understand, educational and very positive. I
strongly encourage this as a follow-up course to Craig's Creating Web
Pages."
"The instructor is excellent! This is the second course I
have taken with him. This was just as good as the first class "Creating
Web Pages" was!"
"The teaching style of Craig Powers is excellent from my
vantage point. In Web Design 1 & 2 he set the lessons up in such a
way as to build student confidence with success by establishing
problems as he explains them, thereby earning the student valuable
practice time of each lesson."
"This course is well written and excellent value for the cost. There is nothing I would change."
"This course was terrific! The instructor is fabulous."
"This is the third class I've take of Craig's. All of his
classes have been the best and only online class experiences I've had.
Keep up the terrific work!"
"This was a great class. The information given in this class
was very helpful in building my web site. Class assignments and quizes
were short and gave automatic feedback."
"This was an excellent course. I feel that I learned a lot
and gained confidence in my web page design abilities. The discussion
lines in both Web Design I and II are extremely helpful and well
attended by all. It is almost like being in a classroom with all these
people having a discussion. I have been satisfied with all the Ed2go
courses, but these 2 have far exceeded my expectations. My thanks to
Craig Power, his assistants, and the ed2go program!"
"This was a well-run course with ample interaction with the instructor and fellow students. I hated to see it end!"
"This was my 2nd class with Craig Power, and I continue to
be happy with his teaching and the material covered. I will be looking
forward to taking more classes with him."
"Very fun course and a great teacher! I've learned more in this class than any other class I've ever taken online."
"Very good instructor. He made complicated things simple and easy to understand."
"Well done! I not only thoroughly enjoyed both Creating Web
Pages I and II, I also feel eager and confident to start creating
sites. The approach these courses take is fun, logical, and obviously
streamlined. Thanks!"
"What a fantastic class!!! I had no idea of the intricacies of web page design. I am looking forward to my next classes."
"Wonderful course, and again am very pleased with what I
have learned! Amazed at how much can be learned in such a short time
period, and that I can do it at my own pace. Thank you so much for
making it available, I will be doing more courses in the new year!"
