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:

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.

Daniel Scott
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.

Hey, my name's Dan, and in this video we're gonna look at, uh, what Bootstrap is now, uh, bootstrap is super important to know because it's, uh, it's how responsiveness is done through websites. Now, there are lots of different ways of doing responsive websites, but Bootstrap is definitely the most popular at the moment. And if you want to be a web designer, uh, you really need to understand and probably use Bootstrap even if you don't use it. You need to really understand what it is, um, because you're gonna have clients coming in and using the word throwing it around. So, uh, we also need to know it because Dreamweaver uses it. Okay?
You used to use something else called Fluid Layouts, but now it uses Bootstraps. So it's kind of what we need to learn. And when we're using Dreamweaver, uh, it came not that long ago, it feels, I was kind of researching it, thinking, ah, you know, I'll check, uh, give them some factoids about how old Bootstrap is. And it turns out it's only like a few years old. It was kind of 2011, um, when it was kind of released, and it's gone through a couple of versions since then. But it feels like the word bootstrap, or at least Twitter bootstrap is the old word for it.
It's been around for ages, but it actually is only a few years. So, um, it was made by just a couple of guys there, a developer and a designer kind of trying to make things quite simple for responsive. Now, what is Bootstrap? Think of it. It's, it's called a framework. And think of it as a template.
Somebody else has gone out there and created a whole bunch of things that we can use and style and build on top of, but they've done all the hard work, they've done the browser testing, the uh, uh, the bug fixing, the, what happens in this browser, what happens, the screen size. All those sorts of things have been worked out by somebody else, which is brilliant for us. Um, and they're kind of like two main parts to Bootstrap. Okay? There's something called components which are pre-made, uh, which are just pre-made bits of code that we can kind of dump on our page and use and style. And then there's something called the grid, which is essentially is just the kind of like foundation or the kind of like, uh, base of all the websites.
But let's talk about those in two separate parts.
