Introduction to Responsive Web Design Essentials Course

Hi there, my name is Daniel Scott, and together, we are going to learn how to build responsive websites. You'll build modern professional websites, that look good on mobile, on tablet, and on desktop. We'll build four sites together. This simple restaurant website, this slightly more advanced bike repair website, this responsive portfolio site, and this Bootstrap website for my prototype yoga company. 

You're going to learn everything you need to create a website. Starting at your very first page, all the way through to uploading it to the internet. We're going to use the world's most popular, and surprisingly free, Web Design Tool called Visual Studio Code. There are downloadable exercise files so that you can follow along with me in every video. 

At the end of each video as well, I'll save where I'm up to, so that in case you get lost, or something's not quite right, you can compare your files with my files. It's a nice easy way to make sure you don't get lost. 

We'll cover all of the good stuff, like how to create your very own Burger menu from scratch, using some basic JavaScript and jQuery. We'll learn how to work with responsive images and icons, plus fancy full screen background images, and probably one-too-many gradients. 

You'll learn how to create forms, and how to choose great fonts for your website. We'll learn how to work with Bootstrap 4. You'll actually set up your own domain name and hosting. We'll upload it live to the internet so other people can see your site. 

Throughout the course I set some fun class projects, so that you can practice everything you're learning in the course. By the end of this course you're going to have a really good understanding of the important web design topics, like HTML5, CSS3, Flexbox, Responsive Design, Bootstrap. 

If that all sounds a bit scary and a little bit fancy, don't worry, this course is aimed at complete beginners. So you don't need any experience in Web Design. You don't need to have coded a single line in your whole life. We're going to start right at the beginning and work our way through step-by-step. 

So who am I? My name is Daniel Scott, and I've been a Web Designer for about 15 years now. I'm also an award winning instructor. For the last two years in a row, I've won a Max Masters award at the massive Adobe MAX Conference. I also have great glasses and a cool t-shirt. I'm pretty sure, just this combination on its own should make me qualify, maybe. 

If you're finally ready to upgrade yourself, sign up for the course, and let's build responsive websites together.
