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.

Summary


In this chapter, we went through the entire process of designing a website to launch. Understanding the entire process will help you with your clients and your projects. A lot of people rush into their project with design, but there are a lot of steps before the actual design. Especially if you're doing a lot of UX, taking some time by doing some research will actually save you a lot of time and money. 

In the next chapter, we'll look into the Responsive and Adaptive designs. The two share similar end goals, yet they are very different. And we'll see how!
