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


Well done. We've covered quite a bit in this chapter. In this chapter, we've walked through the process of launching our website. From creating our favicon, compressing our images, minifying our CSS and JS files, we have also managed to validate our HTML with W3 Markup Validator. Followed by the purchase of our domain name and the upload of our files to our server. We finished the chapter by integrating Google Analytics and submitting our website to Google Search. It was a very condensed chapter we can say it!

In this next chapter, we will learn what Bootstrap is and why developers love it. We will also learn about its components, we will learn how to use Bootstrap Grid, and, finally, how Bootstrap uses Media Queries.

Let's jump to the next chapter!
