Overview
Hi there, my name is Daniel Scott and together we’re going to learn how to build professional responsive websites. which look good on mobiles, tablets and desktop screens.
We will build 4 sites together...
- a simple but elegant restaurant website.
- a bike repair website.
- a responsive portfolio website.
- a Bootstrap website.
We cover everything you need to build your first website. From creating your first page through to uploading your website to the internet. We’ll use the world’s most popular (and free) web design tool called Visual Studio Code.
There are exercise files you can download and then work along with me. At the end of each video I have a downloadable version of where we are in the process so that you can compare your project with mine. This will enable you to see easily where you might have a problem.
We will delve into all the good stuff such as how to create your very own mobile burger menu from scratch learning some basic JavaScript and jQuery.
You will...
- Learn how to work with responsive images and icons. and stunning full screen background images and probably one too many gradients.
- Learn how to create forms and to choose great fonts for your website.
- Learn how to work with Bootstrap 4 to easily add carousels, cards and complex looking menus.
- Setup a domain name with hosting so that your website is live on the internet for others to see.
There are fun class projects for you to work on which will enable you to practice what you learn. By the end of this course you’ll have a great understanding of important web design topics like HTML5, CSS3, Flex box, Responsive design and Bootstrap.
If that all sounds a little too fancy - don’t worry, this course is aimed at people new to web design and who have never coded before. We’ll start right at the beginning and work our way through step by step.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI 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.

Hello there, we are going to take our boring Navbar text and turn it into a little bit gross logo. So we work out how to do that now in Bootstrap4, using our Nav and some cool Nav Brand.
At the moment it's just some plain old text that we copied over when we first kind of lumped in this site. So we want to go and find something cold the Brand. So under 'Documentation', under 'Components', 'Navbar'. We want to try and scroll down until we find Brand.
There's different ways of implementing it. It's up to you. You might just have text, and all you need to do now is, go in VS code, go and change the word Navbar to Dan's Yogurt. You'll see that little change. That might be great for you, you might pick a different font. So you might stylize Name Brand. Probably style this one here, Navbar Brand, and pick a new font.
We'll probably use the Abril Fatface that we've been using. You might be happy enough with that. That's especially useful if the client hasn't got a logo yet. Say it's a new Build and they just don't have a brand yet, you can just give them some stylized text from Google Fonts, but what we want to do is we want to do it as an image, image with some text, we just want plain old image. We're going to grab all of that, copy it, and we're going to replace what we have. So we've got Navbar, just really simple Navbar Brand. It seems to end there. This toggler is our turning on and off thing for our mobile menu. So I'm just going to put in there. Nice.
So what do we need to change? Let's have a little look. It's going to load up probably the Bootstrap logo, eventually. Doesn't want to-- oh, we don't have that on our system. That's looking at the hard drive from, or at least the website from Bootstrap. So what we want to do is switch it out for our own SVG. I'm going to delete all this and I'm going to say inside of images, inside of there is our logo, Dans Meat Yogurt.svg Gross. All right, let's have a little look.
It's kind of in there. It's been forced to be a size from the thing we copied and pasted. Now you will get some graphics, some SVGs that don't have size information in them. And you will have to give them a width and a height. My ones do because it came from XD, or Illustrator, or Photoshop. In the core they kind of give the size inside of them. That's not true of say like an icon. Remember our font awesomes, they don't have it, we need to give it a physical size, but for this one we don't have to. Let's have a little look. It's the size I wanted it to be from-- it's probably a bit big, looking at it now, but it's the size I made and now I'm sticking to it.
Other things you need to do, especially for a logo, is you need to really put in some Alt text that really describes what this is. This is, is it Dan's? Dan's, I want to do that. Dan's Meat Yogurt Company. Logo. Good SEO search engine stuff, and we've got our image, we've got our size. At the moment it's going to href. Now once we get this going it will be index.html
So it comes back to Home. We've only got one page at the moment, but that's it, well, that's kind of it. I want to set a little bit of homework. This padding at the top, seems to work nicely as is. What I want to do though is I would like to go through and remove the background. And I'm going to set it as a little project for you. Just not a full-blown class project, with a Word doc. Just want to see if you can get rid of the background. And in the next video before we get started I'll show you how to do it, but in the meantime, after this video, see if you can get rid of the background. I just want it to be see-through so I can see through to the background. Give it a go, and I'll see you in the next video.
