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

Hey, my name is Dan. In this video we're gonna look at embedding. Now, embedding code is essentially taking other people's,  um, offerings. Say Google Maps or Google Calendars or Woo Forms,  or MailChimp  or any of these other companies that provide a service. They often allow you to embed their work. So it might be YouTube clip, it might be, there's all sorts  of ways you can embed things.

So the embedding is the term. So we're gonna do it with the Google map at the moment. So I'm gonna go to Google, I'm gonna go to Google Maps,  and I'm gonna go to my office. Where are you? Lemme see. Yeah, so,  and what I wanna do is we've got a really cool little,  um, inside view.

Okay? Like a Google Maps walk around  inside thing that we are gonna use. Now to do it, to get it, there's  that dotted line I kind of mentioned to earlier. I'm gonna click on this one. I'm gonna go this. So it says, share or embed embeds,  what I'm looking for, okay?

You'll find embeds everywhere. So shear is not what I want. I want embed. And what we're gonna do is, um,  medium know I wanna put a custom size in. Um, I know I want mine to be about 300 high from the site. And how wide.

Actually, I'm gonna make mine responsive  by putting in a hundred percent,  but I think I need to do that when it's out in Dreamweaver. I'm gonna copy it and I'm gonna jump into Dreamweaver. I'm gonna click inside this. Um, and I'm gonna go to code view here. Um, it's not gonna be pasted as text. 'cause if I past it here, it's gonna  be a big pile of junky text.

That doesn't really work. What I want to do is fine with that guy. Is there, he's there. Um, can you see this thing? It says, um, well, this little bit of code here,  that's a non breaking space that there is just there to,  if you remove it, the um,  column often collapses in Dreamweaver  and can't be seen so often. There's these, think of them, just a little placeholders.

You can leave them there, you can delete them. It's up to you. You make  it nice and clean to get rid of them. And I'm gonna paste this in here. What I'm also gonna do is I'm gonna add  an H Tml comment in here. So I'm gonna put in, this is  what an H Tml comment looks like.

Um, this is gonna be my Google map. And remember, comments are just here for, um, the,  the humans to see, okay, the browser and Google  and everybody else going to this website. That's a machine's gonna ignore anything  that's in these spaces here. You'll notice it's a little different from when it was  in, um, CSS. Okay? Um, but yeah, this is my Google map.

Now, if I go to Live View again, you notice it's in here,  but it's, I gave it a width of say, 800. So it's pointing out the side here. So what I'm gonna do is change the height of it. So I'm gonna go back to split view. I'm gonna find this. And in the code here, there's, um, Google of being nice  and kind of had the width and height pulled out of this.

Um, I frame or this, um, text here. So I'm gonna type in a hundred per cent. Okay? And it just means it's gonna fit the width. I'm gonna leave the height, 'cause a hundred percent width  height will end up going. Um, it'll, it'll go very, very tall.

Okay? It'll stretch the page out as far as it can go. Um, so a hundred percent width  And phi tight. Let's go to preview in our browser. I'm gonna refresh it. I jump out to my browser and where's my working version?

There it is there. The good thing about this now is  that watch, it's an embedded map,  but Google are doing all this power. They're, they're controlling this and making it work. And you can see I can go to full screen and I can zoom in  and out and do all sorts of lovely things that you can do. Um, that's my list there. So Google goes through  and all you need to do is pop in some embed code,  which is an iframe, and Google takes control  and makes all this really high value,  very technical looking things, um, appear on your website  where you don't have to do any of the work.
