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.

Transcript

All right, it is Class Project time again. I'm going to set some tasks now, and yeah, you can do them on your own, and in the next video I'll show you how I did it, but make sure, pause, well, when this video finishes, go off, do your work, and then send me a screenshot, and submit it as your assignment so that I know you've done it. 

So what we're doing is the structure at the top here. So image and the text. Now the text is just going to be plain old text. I'll show you the finished examples. This is what yours is going to look like. Not really nice, but compared to what you had, better. 

This Header here, I want you to put an image on one side, so there's going to be a Div Tag going on this side with your image in it. There's going to be a Nav Div over this side with some text in it. Now the text is just plain old text. There's no Hyperlinks, or-- because we'll turn it into buttons in a future video. So no P-tags, just plain old text sitting in there. And the rules are, I want it to have a bit of padding. Either top and bottom. So we're going to remove the height. Once you get the logo in, remove the height of the Header, because it's superfluous, because we'll add a little bit of padding to the header, top and bottom. 

The big ones are getting this to be left, and this to be right, that is a tricky one, we've done it before. I'll give you a hint, it's kind of doing stuff. The same kind of thing we did to this to get these to separate out. We also want it to be centered in this Div. So the Header is, it's hard to just show but the Header is about this high. So these are sitting in the center, so is the image, kind of same as this. 

Let's have a quick look at the requirements here. So remember, in your Exercise Files, in your Class Projects, there's the Word doc. I've also got in your Project2 file, Class Project3. It's just like a screenshot of what you need to head towards. So change the background color as well, you would have noticed, a big change, that's the color there. Remove the color from the Header whenever you're ready. Add the Logo and Nav box. The image is in your Exercise Files. You'll have to copy it across to your local folder. This is the text to put in, remember don't style it. 

The Nav needs to be right aligned. Remove the background color and height from the Header, Padding to the top. Make sure they're both centered vertically. When you're done either post it in the Assignments, just take a screenshot, doesn't have to be all the code, just show me that you've done it. 

Either post it here in the Assignments, or you can post it in the Comments on this page, or Social Media, and tag me. So remember, Instagram, I'm @bringyourownlaptop, Twitter, I am danlovesadobe, and on Facebook group there's a Facebook group, go check that out. Just tag it with this, so that it's easy to find the web stuff for me. 

All right, enjoy the class project, we'll see how you get on. Right aligning, it's going to be the toughest one, if you find that frustrating, it's okay. We'll do it together in the next video. Good luck, I'll see you in a bit.
