Overview of this book

Web design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. This book offers you everything you need to know to build your websites. The book starts off by explaining the importance of web design and the basic design components used in website development. It'll show you insider tips to work quickly and efficiently with web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, concluding with a project on creating a static site with good layout. Once you've got that locked down, we'll get our hands dirty by diving straight into learning JavaScript and JQuery, ending with a project on creating dynamic content for your website. After getting our basic website up and running with the dynamic functionalities you'll move on to building your own responsive websites using more advanced techniques such as Bootstrap. Later you will learn smart ways to add dynamic content, and modern UI techniques such as Adaptive UI and Material Design. This will help you understand important concepts such as server-side rendering and UI components. Finally we take a look at various developer tools to ease your web development process.

Chapter 12. Building a Website with Bootstrap

We just saw how powerful Bootstrap can be. With an extensive list of components and elements we can reuse, it can make our development phase very easy, and that's why developers love it. In this chapter, we'll discuss how to build our website using the Bootstrap framework using the following steps:

  • Learning how to set up Bootstrap in your project 
  • Creating and styling our Navigation bar
  • Continuing with the hero section
  • Creating and styling the Blog section 
  • Creating and styling the About section
  • Finishing with the Footer 

We'll start the project from scratch and create the same page we created before to compare our initial technique with the Bootstrap technique. Let's get started!
