PB101: L02 - What Do Page Builders Do (Intro to HTML, CSS, & Page Inspection)

In Lesson 02, we're going to take a look at what page builders actually do, and you're going to get your first taste of HTML and CSS!

We're also going to learn how to inspect the code of a page to see what's happening and identify where styling is coming from.

Questions answered in this video:

❓Why would we want to use a page builder?
❓What does a page builder actually do?
❓Do all page builders output the same code quality?
❓What is the difference between HTML and CSS?
❓What are classes and IDs?
❓Why is bad code problematic?
❓And more!

Remember, this is just scratching the surface. We'll dive much deeper into all of these concepts as you continue to work through the course.

This one ended up a little longer than I had hoped. I'd like to keep them all to 30min or less going forward if possible.

This course is gonna make a huge impact on page builders' audience.

This is more of a beginners type of lesson. I am not a beginner. But I watched it anyways. Because I think, you can learn from any video, even if they are more targeted towards beginners. And you haven't let me down. So thanks! I just enjoy your teaching style. Very good.

I am using Elementor since last four years. This is an eye opener video. 😢 It's time to ditch the Elementor now.. Thank you Kevin..

[davidwalls]

Kevin, great video. Timing -- great, content level/description -- great. As a former Elementor user, I didn't realize all the mess it created. I'm glad I started switching to Bricks on all of my sites. Looking forward to the next lesson.

[Hightechdad]

A very practical, hands-on tutorial. Much of my wordpress work has been "hacking things together." Now trying to teach an old dog new tricks, and I'm loving it! Can't wait for the next one!

[rebelinc]

Did the same test with section/container with Bricks and Elementor last week. Just to convince myself, that what I thought was also true.
Thanks Kevin and have a nice holiday 🙂

[chrispoole]

Wow, excellent stuff here, and all for free! A big thanks to Kevin for sharing his knowledge and experience.

[VascoDanielBaiao]

It was good to understand where everything goes. HTML, CSS and JS got clearer to me after this lesson. Also the "inline style" only realized after watching your lessons. All through the course you're distinction between doing something or doing it right is very enlighting for someone who learns most just by fussing around. Was ditching Page Inspection to often and this video made me realize how useful it actually is.

Kevin's web design course is a gem! His expertise in CSS is unmatched. I appreciate how he simplifies complex topics, making it easy for beginners like me to grasp.

[radartwentyone]

Hi Kevin - your approach just flabbergasted me! That's so kewl - best web dev tutorial I've ever seen. I already know some html/css and also php and java script, but no one I know ever structured and explained it that well. Thank you!

[zzompy]

Best teacher on all things website. Cracka and the oxyprop guy are close behind. Kudos.

[quickend]

Kevin, You never disappoint!. This was a great introduction to HTML and CSS.
I walk away feeling smarter by everything you put out, Thanks again!

[keyladamaer]

For some reason, I lost the email announcing this video, therefore I watched it only now.
So, I knew HTML a little, but always wondered what CSS was. Now I know thanks to you. I Also I know why I detest my current builder: you just showed me that in 20 minutes. Again, I won’t name the builder. If so-called experts keep suggesting its the best one, they’re not as expert as they think.
Thank you for this great insights.

[jfiosi]

Kevin, you make so much sense that a lot of other stuff/content creators sound like NONsense. 😃 You are so consistent in delivering real value. 👋

[gonzalodiaz]

I can't believe you're doing this for free!
Even if someone is a real professional and doesn't need to learn HTML & CSS (I'm not a professional yet), it's always great to learn about different workflows and tips. Like this one: 35:42
Greetings from Argentina!

[klitos]

Thank you, Kevin. Fantastic presentation.

[ryanzwahr]

Thanks for contributing Kevin, and making this available. This course will go a long way to keep folks out of Chump-ville! hahaha Thanks man!

[juliocesarsobrino]

Thank you very much Kevin. In this first video, I have seen exactly what you promised to offer, and even more I would say. Very good idea to introduce expert tricks. Let's go for the next video :)

[PaulStradling]

Awesome, thanks Kevin. I know some CSS/HTML so looking forward to putting this into practice.
