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.

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

Hi there, welcome to the course. This video, I want to talk about how this course is structured. So it's broken into five parts. We'll start at the beginning with just a real basic introduction to HTML and CSS. Then we'll start our very first project. 

So Phase 1, quick introduction. Phase 2, we'll build this website. So we'll take out kind of basic HTML and CSS introduction, and turn it into this website here. Nice simple one to get started. 

The third thing we'll do is we'll create this Roar Cycles website. Now this website is just a little bit more advanced. Let's say it's intermediate HTML and CSS. We cover the basics in the first one, and then we get into a little bit more detail here. 

Third part is, we'll make our site responsive. Just means it's going to adjust for the different browsers, so mobile phones, tablets, and websites. It's this one here, it's a portfolio site, nice, simple one. You can see here, it adjusts for different browser widths. 

And then the finale for the course, is looking at a framework. The framework that we're going to be using in this course is called Bootstrap. It's super popular, and it just means we can take all our knowledge that we know so far, and kind of condense it down and use it really quickly to build sites. And we're going to introduce things like this jQuery slider here. And we just slide across, there's these cards down the bottom. There's an easy Mobile Nav. 

It's a really great addition to anybody that's building websites. A framework like Bootstrap is going to make you go super fast, make you look super professional, without you having to do all the heavy lifting. All right, I hope you're ready. It's time to get started and actually start building websites. I will see you in the course.
