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.

The different ways to use CSS


There are three ways to use CSS:

  •  Inside an HTML tag with a style attribute (this method is not recommended, but you can still use it a little bit): 
<p style'"font-size:12px"></p>
  • Inside our <head> section in an HTML document with the tag <style>:
<style>
  p {
    font-size:12px;
  } 
</style>
  • CSS code can also be put into an external file, linked to the HTML document with the tag <link>. The file extension will be saved as a .css file:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">

For this example, we will use the second option, but we'll learn the third option when we start building our own website.

Let's start by adding the <style> tag in our <head> section:

<head> <!--This is our head tag where we put our title and script and all infos relative to our page.-->
  <title>My Page Title</title>
  <style>

  </style>
 </head>
