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.

Fontastic


Ever needed to quickly change size or colors of your icons? What about adding shadows or other design elements to your icons?

Let's meet Fontastic. This fantastic tool allows designers to quickly change icons to meet the unique demands of any project. You can do this by creating your own icon font. Then, upload that font to your project. Once uploaded, you can use CSS to customize the look and feel of the icons without painstakingly manipulating each icon in Photoshop:

Here's how it works. Head over to Fontastic and select icons from its huge library of over 9,000 available icon images. Next, assign letters to each of those icons (to create a font).

From there, you can modify your icons with the help of CSS. From changing color to resizing, you can do all of it through coding instead of redrawing and wasting a lot of time.
