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. 

Who am I? 

I’m Dan, and I’ve been building websites for about 15 years now. I am award winning instructor, and have won a MAX Master award for the last 2 years in a row at the prestigious Adobe Max conference.

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.

Surprise, it's homework time. You've got all the skills now to recreate this Footer. At the moment it looks like this in the browser, this green thing. Don't worry about this big map in the middle. We're going to do that in a little bit, but I want you to focus on, from the map down. So you're going to be focusing on kind of this part. 

So what I want you to do is I'd like you to make it look like that. There's a padding, there's a margin, how do we get it in the center? How do I make the font smaller? I want you to wrap it in a P tag, and I want the background to be black, but transparent, but not as transparent as that. So that's a bit darker. Those are the rules. 

Let me check your-- remember, in your Exercise Files, way back at the beginning of the Exercise Files, there's one called Class Projects, and there's a Word doc in here. That's it here. This is Class Project2, so run through this. There's the mock up I just explained. It doesn't have to be pixel perfect. Anything else? Ignore the map. The spacing up above and below the footer. There's the text for it. Just make sure it's in a P-tag, you could skip that, but this be proper. 

Let's put it in a Paragraph tag and then style that. A little hint, you're probably going to need a Compound Selector. It's kind of what I'm trying to hint and get you to do in this one. Background colors transparent, and that's it. Once you've done it, take a screenshot, and share it with me on these, so in the Assignments Panel, just take a screenshot, stick it in there. If you've-- yeah, depending on where you're watching this, in the Comments, in the Assignments, and send it to me on Instagram, keep you honest. 

Send it to me and say, "Look I got this far, and I did it without cheating." What I mean by cheating is, opening the completed files, or watching the next video where I go through it, and show you how to do it. Prove to yourself you can do it, and share it with me. Make sure you use this hashtag, #byolweb 
And that is it. Go do your homework, and I'll see you in the next video.
