Adobe Express: Creating a webpage
Adobe Express is an online (currently free) tool similar to Canva that allows you to easily create graphics, printable media, web pages, and short videos using supplied templates. In this tutorial, we will create a single webpage that can be used for course projects or to post an announcement. To access Adobe Express you will need to log on using your Rowan credentials.
