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.

Downloads & Exercise files

Transcript

Hi, my name is Dan, and in this video we're gonna look at  how to download the exercise files, the, uh, project files  and the production videos. Okay, so first up, exercise files. These are just so that you can play along. Um, so my tutorials that we're gonna be doing in this video,  you can download the images, uh, any texts that we're using,  any colors, any fonts  that we're using, just to make it easy for you. There'll be a link probably along a video here,  or it'll be in a link in the description or comments below. Um, and once you've downloaded it, you'll get,  uh, these types of things.

So here it is on the desktop, uh, the dream  of exercise files that you've downloaded. Open 'em up. And you can see in here there's just a text  file for all the colors that we're gonna be using. Okay? You can obviously follow along  and make your own colors, that's totally fine. Um, but if you wanna follow along perfectly, um,  there are fonts that we're gonna use  and download from Google Fonts.

Of course, you can use your own, uh, images to play along. There's a bunch of them in here. Okay. There's icons and some JPEGs  and a few other things in there for you. Um, and the text that we're gonna be using,  you could just use Lauren Nsso  or any kind of like filler text or your own text. It's okay, but there's some text to get you started.

The next thing 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 gonna save from where I'm at, okay? Where we're up to in the tutorial so that if you get lost  or yours is not working perfectly, you can download the, uh,  project files and just see where you're up to. And compare my version with your version just to see if, um,  you know, just to work out the bugs. So, um, you can grab those if you need to.

There's also production videos. So production videos are, you'll see them through the list,  um, of contents of the different videos. They're kind of at the end of every section,  there's a production video and it's just like,  I'm gonna be scribing, uh, principle and describing it  and demonstrating it, and we'll be ready to go. But lots of them will have then have  to be repeated quite a few times, um, through the project. So we'll learn, say, uh, how to make a responsive image. Once again, we'll get the ideas and work on it  and understand it, but then I'm gonna have to go through  and 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 need to kind of blaze through these tutorials. But if you want to, the production videos are there,  you'll pick up little nuggets of workflow, how  to get things done in kind of repetitive kind of fashion. But yeah, they're a little boring,  so you can skip on on past those ones. Alright, so that's, uh, exercise files, uh,  project files and production videos. We'll see you in the next video.
