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 in the full course:
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.

Time to upgrade yourself?
Sign up for the course and let’s learn how to build responsive websites.

Absolutely brilliant, explains everything nicely on how things work and connect, coding isn’t easy but the way you’re explaining and showing in the videos ? Priceless thanks

[aryankumar]

Someone give this man a Nobel Prize already for such good teaching


I have to you buy the course now, anyhow.

[AsadAaliii]

I literally saw few minutes of his video, absolutely loved it and immediatley decided to subscribe.

[bruce-c]

Man this is such a good tutorial the techniques that you use are so good and easy to follow i loved doing the home work and u make coding so much more fun. plus the excitement you get when u make the website or change something and see it on a browser is so good, thx man

[WallieTube]

I have a question, I am going step by step with this video, and so far it has been a complete help, but I'm a little bit confused with the files you are opening, like we are supposed to have those files as well, do we download them, and if so where?

[shafiquez]

27:21 -- On a PC, It's Alt+Tab. (Ctrl+Tab will only move you thru the tabs of browser or any app that has tabs like VS Code has.)

[akhadtop]

I did not watch everything but I really appreciate that you made it in a way that everybody can easily understand it

[edwinsupre]

just re candle my interest in web designing. glad i found this channel

[supersnuppa]

I've tried so many courses, but got lost in all of them. But this guy is an amazing teacher, he describes every little thing and more, I finally understand what I'm doing!

[gameramante]

I had to fix some problems by myself and I'm really glad I did. I finally feel I'm learning, the "make a reservation" is an inline element thus it cannot be positioned with padding, unless you turn it into inline block or block.
But I got mad and push it using the P and padding-bottom

[luyigaeva]

I left my college when I have not learnt but today I come across your video and I have learnt it just in hours. Thx alot blessing

[realover]

Man you deserve to be the best teacher, i understand everything and i'm not speak english fluently. keep it up !!

[godetarnaud]

- Getting started (what will be in the video + what to install) : 00:00 to 07:00
- Introduction to html & CSS ( create your first html page, css, what is it...) : 07:00 to 30:00
- Title and description of a website : 30:00 to 36:40
- What code editors to use : 36:40 to 40:00
- Use div tags, css class, css in a separate file... : 40:00 to 1:15:32
- First project (create a cool restaurant website + upload it) : 1:15:33 to ... (work in progress)

Edit : the author added timestamps in the description ^^

Sat through an hour of this so far much easier than any of my college classes. It’s true that engaging with information you actually care about captures attention much better

[dkonsult]

Great teaching there. stumbled on your video and sure got hooked on. thanks. Tried all the assignment I was happy with the results.

[Comemybelly]

[TalitavanVliet]

What an awesome course, i am halfway and registerd for the full course. Thank you so much!

[Amadizo]

This is the first 3+hr video I have ever watched on Youtube. It was worth it. I have watched other programming tutorials but got lost in the process. Your tutorial is unique because you go in depth and clarify the essentials. I also like the assignments. Thanks a lot for making this video, I can say that its good start to coding.

[akshayak]

[ArnoVicD]

Dan.... I am here after watching 3 of your courses - Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator. And i am sure i am going to learn something very new.
Excited!!!!😁
