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.

Sometimes Responsive websites have an unfinished feel, and elements seem to be arranged in a way that just seems to fit the screen, but is not designed for the best user experience. However, there is another approach, which is mobile first. This basically starts your design on a mobile and builds up to the desktop. But it still doesn't resolve the problem.

Another advantage of mobile first is speed. Research shows that companies with an Adaptive website will often perform better on loading-speed tests than a Responsive website...
