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.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
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.

Responsive web design is a way to change your website depending on the browser size. Now I'm showing him Smashing Magazine. Smashing Magazine is a website that I read a lot and I really like the effort they went into to redesign the different pages depending on the browser size. So at the moment we are looking at it as you would on, uh, say, a really big screen like an iMac or kinda a 4K monitor or something really big in high definition. You can see there's a nav on the left, a sub nav, our main content and some ads. But once I get smaller, say down to a regular desktop view, can you see it changes?
It goes down to this navigation here, our main content and ads, but it gives it smaller, say down to say a tablet view. Okay. Changes quite a bit. Ditches. The ads, uh, the navigations becomes a bit smaller. This is along the top here.
Now if I go down even smaller, down to the mobile view, okay, things change quite a bit again. Now, the easiest way at the moment to do responsive Is to use, uh, Something called Bootstrap. Now bootstrap is what Dreamweaver uses to make responsive and, um, I guess it's, uh, special enough to have its own little section. So let's go off now and find out what Bootstrap is and how it works with Dreamweaver.
