1.1 So, You Wanna Be a Web Designer?
So, you want to be a web designer? Well, that's awesome because I have a thing or two I can teach you, I have a few years of coding HTML and CSS to back me up, so in this course I'll give you an introduction to web design. I'll start with a bit of history about the web. Then, show you what HTML and CSS looks like. After that i'll show you what tools you need to use, from code editors to image edition applications. Now I know learning something from theory alone is a hard task, you have a much better chance of learning stuff when you see actual examples. Therefore, in the last part of the course you'll be able to look over my shoulder, while I build a simple three page website. From planning, to sketching it, creating a wire frame, to Photoshop design, and then, HTML and CSS. So, if you're just starting out and want a crash course on how to design and build. A website, you're in the right place. I'm Andy Pordillo. Welcome to Web Design for Beginners.
