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.

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.

All right, you might have been asking for the last, like 30 videos, are we there yet? We are there finally. Got one more little thing to do. We are going to style these blue Primary buttons down the bottom. We're going to make them this nice green color. Let's jump in and work out how to do it now in Bootstrap and VS Code.
So at the moment, my Card here, the only thing you can click is the button. That's totally fine, but I want to make the entire Card clickable. And Bootstrap has a special Class for that. So under 'Utilities', there's one called Stretched Link. Basically all we need to do is add this, this nice little Class, to the A-tag. It will make the Parent all clickable, apparently. Let's give it a go, so let's grab that, let's go into our Visual Studio Code. Let's find the A-tag, there it is there, inside my Card, and we'll add it to this.
Let's change the link to go somewhere. So just, I don't know. Not going anywhere, it feels like it-- feels like it shouldn't be. Let's go to any old website, let's save it, and let's give it a go. First up, we've got the Mickey Mouse hand, this one doesn't. See, the Mickey Mouse hand only appears over there. If you don't have the Mickey Mouse hand, different operating systems have different cursors, but there you go, and if I click on it, hey presto, hey, it's me. So really easy, I love that.
Seems like such a nice easy thing to do. Let's do it for the other links. Let's probably style the Button, and then that's going to be us. Where are we adding it to? This link here, I'm going to go to Primary. We're going to do both these. Let's make sure they work first. Let's get back one. That one works, this one doesn't. Why not, 'Refresh'. Oh, Refresh on that one worked. So sometimes you do need to hit Refresh. We've learned that through the course, right?
So it's all clickable, let's change this Button, because this Button at the moment has a Hover, which we don't like, and the color is wrong. So we're going to actually, we kind of created our own kind of styles for Primary Outline. We're going to do the same thing for this one here. Just Button Primary, don't want the outline version. So let's make a Class over here, together. A finale, Finale Class, we'll call it.
We're going to make the background, so the 'bg', actually we'll make the background, 'background-color'. we're going to use, it's color we used before, somewhere; OOBBC9. It's going to give us the green. Let's check it, perfect. We need to change the Hover, because it's still going blue, so we'll make a Pseudo Class. Actually we'll make a Compound and Pseudo Class. Let's go out in a blaze of CSS glory.
So comma, I want to do this one again, but I want this one to be the ':hover'. So remember, comma separates, so we're doing two separate things, and the separate things happen to be the regular old Primary, plus the Pseudo version of it, where we hover above. Let's check it out, and now, Hover is the same color, waiting for it to change. I didn't pick a different color, I just want it to be the same.
Let's also work on the Border color here. So 'border-color', we're going to make it the same color as-- can you set it to 'none'? Let's have a little look. Nope, you've got to set it to a color. We could probably turn the size down on it, but we're actually just going to set it to the same color as everything else. There we go, look at us.
And that is going to be it for our coding together. Hang around for the next video, where we'll discuss your next steps, and of course I'll take your payment details for the Yogurt that you want to order. See you in a sec.
