Overview

Hi, I'm Dan and in this short-course we'll quickly go through all the basics to creating a simple responsive website using Dreamweaver CC 2018. We'll look at responsive web design techniques, as well as making sure you understand exactly what you're doing. We'll make the most of the most up to date web techniques, using HTML5 and CSS3 to present the best site possible. We'll use Media queries to manipulate the sites styling at different widths to give our site responsiveness. 

I built this course for the super-newbies. I've even got fail-safe exercise files so you can never fall behind. This would be the perfect starting point for anyone that wants to dip their toes into building responsive websites. We'll make 3 different responsive points, desktop, tablet and mobile. 

We'll start with defining the site in Dreamweaver. I'll give you a basic starting point of the site to get the ball rolling, then we'll preview our site and improve the responsiveness.

What are the requirements?

  • You'll need a copy of Dreamweaver CC 2017 or above. A free trial can be download from Adobe here.

  • No previous Dreamweaver or web design experience is necessary.

  • If you're not sure if this course is right for you. Email me what you’re trying to do and check if you’re on the right track.

What am I going to get from this course?

  • Forum support from me. 

  • All the techniques used by professional website designers.

  • Basic understanding of responsive web design.

What is the target audience?

  • YES: This course is for beginners. Aimed at people new to the world of web design. No previous Dreamweaver experience is necessary. People with knowledge of previous versions of Dreamweaver and below will also get great value from this course as the software has changed so much.

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

Okay, my friends, that is going to be the end of this one. We've covered a lot in our time together. Mainly focusing on Responsive Web Design.

Just a recap, Responsive Web Design is an umbrella term that covers a few different things we do when we're building a website. Main ones are Media Queries, where we get them to trigger at different sizes of browsers. Within those Media Queries, we can do some fun stuff with things like the Column Widths, to adjust for different sizes, and change things like the font sizes and positioning.

Also responsive was our images, remember, we made them a width of 100% for the images. that is Responsive Images. We did Responsive Background Images where we did our background image plus this background size cover.

So you can see, when it comes to Responsive Web Design a lot of the work is done in our CSS, and our HTMLs kept nice and clean. There's very little we've actually added to it, but lot of functionality has been done using our CSS.

All right, see you later, haere rā, have a great day.
