Overview

Hi there, my name is Dan and together we’re going to build a portfolio website using Adobe Dreamweaver.

We’ll use Dreamweaver's handy templating tools to make updates to our site super easy. We’ll create our very own mobile 'burger menu' from scratch learning some basic Javascript & jQuery.

I am an Adobe Certified Instructor and better yet I work closely with Adobe themselves to develop their own online help videos. I am also a Dreamweaver speaker at the huge Adobe Max conference in Las Vegas 2017. I’m even inside your version of Dreamweaver right now... go on try it... open Dreamweaver > Go to Help > quick tutorial - I’m right there!This course is for beginners. You do not need any previous knowledge in Dreamweaver or web design experience. We will use Dreamweaver ‘split’ view so we can use all the good visual tools as well as doing some simple amends down here in the code as well.

In this series we will take this static design from either Illustrator or Photoshop and together, step by step, build everything in HTML, CSS & Javascript. We will make our own navigation. We will make adjustments so that everything looks great on different mobile devices.We will work with beautiful fonts & colours & even add Google Analytics to our site to get amazing information about exactly who visits your site.
 Now web design can sometimes be tricky so I am here to help - just message me if you get stuck. There are also exercise files so you can follow along. I even save a full copy of the website at the end of every video so that you can check yours again mine if you’re is not working quite right.

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.

Hi there, my name is Dan. And in this video series we're going to make this Responsive Portfolio Website using Dreamweaver. Now we're going to go through this course step by step learning everything we need to know to make a website. We'll also use some of Dreamweaver's templating tools so that we can make sideways changes to our large websites, super quick and easy. We'll also make this responsive drop down menu here, from scratch. So we'll have to learn a little bit of JavaScript and JQuery.

Now I am an Adobe Certified Instructor. I also get to help Adobe make a lot of their Dreamweaver tutorials for their website. I'm also a Dreamweaver speaker at the Adobe Max Conference in Las Vegas. And even better still, I'm inside your copy of Dreamweaver right now. Go and open it, open up Dreamweaver, go to Help, and go to Quick Tutorial. And there I am, inside the machine.

This course is for beginners. You don't need any previous knowledge of Dreamweaver or Web Designer experience. We'll use Dreamweaver's Split View so that you can use all the good visual tools. As well as doing some simpler menus down here, in the code as well. In this series, we'll take this static design here that we'll start with from Illustrator, and together, step by step, build everything in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We'll make our own navigation using JQuery. We'll make adjustments to the site so that everything looks good on all the different devices.

We'll work with beautiful fonts and colors, and even add Google Analytics to our site, so we can get some amazing information on who visits our site. Now Web Design can be pretty tricky, so if you ever get lost, I'm around to help. Just use any of the comments on any of the pages. Also, you get exercise files, you can play along with me in the video series. I also save something called the completed files, so at the end of every video, I save about two so that you can compare yours with mine, just in case yours get a little lost.

So, check out the link here for the website we're going to build together. I want you to get super excited about building a website like a professional. See you in class. Wow! Thank you, guys. And a wink. We're going to build a website awesomely. How about that?
