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

Hello there, in this video we are going to mess around with our Carousel. Obviously we're messing with the timing because it is flying. We're also messing around with the transition. So you can see it kind of fading, rather than sliding. So let's jump in and work out what we're doing. 

All right, Carousel, me and you, you've been annoying me all this course. I love Carousels, just not when I'm teaching, they're distracting, but we want to do a couple of things. The first one's going to be, is turning it off when it gets to mobile. Just too small, and it's not what I want on mobile devices. So let's go and disable it. We did this earlier, so it's a good recap. How do I disable, we know it's like, display:none. Remember, from our earlier days. In here, under 'Utilities', there's one called 'Display'. You can have a little look through, I find this little list really helpful. It gives you an explanation, and then what to do. 

So 'Hidden only on XS', which is what I want. I'm going to turn it off for all of them, and turn it back on for Small. In my case I'm only going to turn it back on for Medium. So I'm going to grab all of that, actually I don't want all the full stop. So I'm just going to probably-- we'll paste it in. So where is my Carousel? There you are, buddy. So what I'd like to do is, I've got some Classes, I got Carousel Slide at the moment. I'm going to put in these without the colons. Sorry, without the full stops, or periods. 

So you, you, and I want this one to turn on, when it gets to the bigger device, like an iPad. Let's have a little look. So it's off, on there, there's the big slider. And then it turns off at some stage, still there, still there. Gone. Yep, gone. So we've turned it off, and turned it back on at this slightly bigger size. 

Next thing I want to do is I want to do the Fade. So let's have a little look at the different options that are available. It's under 'Components'. And where is our Carousel? So it's interesting to have a look through all of this, explaining what it does, the different controls. What we want to do is, I want to find the one with Captions Crossfade. Oh, Carousel Fade, that's what I want to do. What does that look like? Yep, that works for me. Come here, buddy. We're going to add it, and just add it after this, there we go. 

Hopefully I'll have a nice fading one. See how it goes, let's get up to our bigger size. And wait for it, hey. My one's not perfect because the Fade is, not like-- it's because I've got transparency on the background of mine, I've used P & G's as these little images, so that I could see through to the Background Gradient. If you've got a full image, Fade looks a lot nicer, it's a little bit jumpy, because I've got transparent background, but nice work. 

Last thing I want to do with the Carousel, and, like I, I guess we're at a point now, where actually we know how to go in, work with the documentation, figure out things on our own now. And I guess that's the whole point of this, like we could go through every feature of Carousel, and then Cards, and all of them. I'm just getting us to a point where our mock-up looks kind of good, and hopefully I'm kind of beating into you the different kind of, well the techniques for finding what you need in Bootstrap, and applying to your website in VS Code. And I'm getting kind of close to the end of this course, it's pretty exciting. 

I hope you are getting used to this kind of finding it, and a little bit of problem solving. Let's say I want to work with the timing. Like this one here, Interval looks pretty good, and there is, Data Interval looks pretty good. Now remember, this is milliseconds. So that's 10 seconds, 2 seconds. So it looks like it has to go on something called the Carousel Item Active. Let's grab that part, and see if we can add it, because by default I have no idea what it is. Let's see what it is here. 

Maybe it doesn't have a default. All right, there's my Carousel Item Active, there is no default. So let's say I put in this one, and let's say we put it down to something real quick. We'll do it to all of them actually, and just to prove a point, half a second. I've actually put it in the wrong place. We'll put it inside of the Class. Let's just have a little look at the documentation. So it's outside of the Class, it's actually just another property. And I'll do the same on this one here as well, and this one. I paste these guys in, and let's see how it works. 

Let's look at our example, there we go. Took a little while to get going, I was like, "Hmm, why aren't you working?" You can see it's flicking through them real quick now. So obviously you can change and be individual, you might have testimonials. Some of them are longer than others. So one could be like a min and a half, whereas the other guys could be nice and fast. You don't need to watch this, do you? You get what I mean. 

So again, we are getting close to the end of the course, and we're not covering every single part of Bootstrap or Web Design in general. I'm hoping though you're getting a good sense of how to find and tackle, and where things need to go, what you need to do yourself, and what you can rely on for things like Bootstrap. 

All right, let's get on to one of the last parts, where we start looking at the Cards, and finishing those off. See you in the next video.
