During the introduction I'll be explaining exactly what we are going to be creating during the course - which is a responsive, mobile-friendly single page website from scratch using plain HTML and CSS.
This lecture includes creating the base HTML and file structure for the web page - I'll also be showing you which applications I recommend you use for the course.
This lecture involves going over the hero image and the icon which will be used for the main "hero area" of the web page. We'll also begin creating some core elements and CSS styles which will give us a foundation for the rest of the course.
I've provided some sample images which you can use as downloadable materials.
This lecture involves creating a call-to-action (CTA) component that will encourage your users to click on a particular item - think things like a video or a sign up form.
This lecture involves adding social media links (and icons) to direct users to external sites such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.
This lecture involves adding some essential body content - things like paragraphs, headings, buttons and sections.
This lecture involves creating an icon grid which is typically used to either showcase services that a company or organisation provides, or display numbers (i.e. how many products sold, how many clients served etc.)
The final lecture involves adding the final touches which includes:
making the site mobile friendly
choosing a font
adding a favicon (shortcut icon)
adding a mobile theme color
When starting out as a web developer, one of the most valuable and rewarding milestones is to create a fully complete website that looks and feels good. Watching and reading tutorials are great for learning new things, but completing a project is key to taking your learning to another level.
In this course you'll be learning how to create a single page website (or micro-site) from scratch using the following technologies:
HTML5
CSS3
Icon Library
Fonts
Block Element Modifier (BEM) CSS naming convention
This course is perfect for people who have a beginner to intermediate level of experience in web development or web design. The website which we'll be creating is going to feature various different web design elements, including:
a hero image
call-to-action components
social media links
icon grid
body content
footer
On top of that, this website will be mobile-friendly, making it compatible with a wide range of devices including both iPhone and Android phones.
Not only will you learn how to create the above components but you'll also learn how to harness the power of HTML and CSS from a technical perspective in which you can then apply that knowledge into other aspects of web development.
Upon completing this course you'll know how to build a website like this for a small business, or even your own personal portfolio.
