Overview

NOTE: this course uses Bootstrap 3. Dreamweaver has recently updated to Bootstrap version 4. You can change it back to 3 using the ‘New Document > Bootstrap > Preferences'. Please do this before starting the course.

Some versions of Dreamweaver will require you to download the specific Bootstrap version you want to use and link it within the site. You can download Bootstrap 3 here: http://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/

Hi - my name is Dan and I’ll be leading you through this course on how to Make money building mobile friendly websites using Dreamweaver.

I built this course for the visual person, the right brained person. We won't hide from code but we'll use all the visual tools that makes Dreamweaver so amazing.

These are the skills you’ll need to become a professional web designer. You’ll learn how to make responsive websites in Dreamweaver as well as learning what to charge and how to manage a website project.

We cover everything you need to build your first website. From creating your first page through to uploading your website to the internet. During the course we’ll create a website for a mock creative agency - creating mobile and desktop versions. See our example here:

I’m a Dreamweaver Certified Instructor and an Adobe Certified Web Specialist.

With exercise files you can download and work along with me. At the end of each video I have a downloadable version of where we are in the process so you can compare your project with mine making it easy to see where you might have a problem.

I’ll be showing you how to work with Dreamweaver to easily create HTML & CSS websites. How to create mobile and tablet versions of your design and how to test your website on your phone.

I’ll be teaching you how to create navigation bars, how to work with responsive images and favicons.

We’ll work with Dreamweaver’s new Bootstrap integration to easily add carousels, tabbed menu’s and accordions. Even easier you’ll learn to impress clients by embedding videos, calendars, maps, event ticketing & social sharing options.

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript

Hi, my name is Dan and in this video we are going to look at how to download the exercise files, the project files and the productions videos. First up, exercise files. These are just so that you can play along. So my tutorials that we are going to be doing in this video, you can download the images, any text that we are using, any colours, any fonts, just to make it easier for you. There will be a link probably along the video here or it will be in a link in the description or comments below. Once you’ve downloaded it, you’ll get these types of things. So here it is on the desktop, the Dreamweaver exercise files that you’ve downloaded. Open them up, and you can see in here, there’s just a text file for all the colours that we are going to be using. You can obviously follow along and make your own colours, that’s totally fine. But if you want to follow along perfectly, there are fonts that we are going to use and follow along with Google fonts. Of course you can use your own. Images, to play along, there’s a bunch of them in here; there’s icons and some jpegs and a few of the things in there for you. And the text that we are going to be using, you could just Loren Ipsem or any kind of filler text or your own text is okay.

 

The next thing that I've put up there for you to play along with is the project files. Now the project files are at the end of every video. I'm just going to say where we are at, where we are up to in the tutorial so that if you get lost or if yours isn’t working perfectly, you could download the project files and just see where you're up to. Compare my version with your version just to work out the bugs. You can grab those if you need to. There are also production videos. Production videos are, you will see them through the list of contents of the different videos. They’re kind of at the end of every section, there’s a production video. I'm going to be describing a principle and describing it and generating it and we will be ready to go. But lots of them will then have to be repeated quite a few times through the project. So we’ll learn, say, how to make a responsive image once and we will get the ideas and work on it and understand it but then I'm going to have to do it to like say 20 other images. So I've cut them into separate little videos so that you can skip those if you’ve got the idea right and you just kinda need to blaze through these tutorials. But if you want to, the production videos are there, and you will pick up little nuggets of work flow, how to get things done in a repetitive kind of fashion. But yeah, they’re a little boring, so you can skip on past those ones.

 

All right, so that’s exercise files, project files and productions videos, we will see you in the next video.
