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.

CSS formatting


We're now ready to put in our CSS, so how's the formatting in CSS?

CSS is pretty simple to understand:

  • The selector: This is where you choose which HTML elements you want to add style to. In this example, we select all the <h1> elements.
  • Curly bracket: All styles inside these will apply to the HTML elements chosen by the selector
  • Property: A property controls one aspect of an HTML element's style, such as text-align, color, width, background, and so on.
  • Value: The value goes to the property. In this case, the text-align value could be left, right, center, or justify.
  • Semicolon: It is mandatory to apply it at the end of a property.  

You can have multiple styles in the same <style> tag. Let's center all the h1 and p tags.

You should have the following:

<style>
 h1 {
  text-align: center;
 }
 p {
  text-align: center;
 }
</style>
