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.

Creating our web page


Now that everything is set up, let's get started with putting together our images folder and installing our fonts.

Images folder

I have prepared a folder with all the images that you'll need to do this exercise. Those images can be found in Resources | Image Web project. You can simply copy all the images and assets to the img folder in our new project folder.

Installing our font

If you have a second look at the website, you can see that we're using custom fonts, which means that we're not using web safe fonts. Web-safe fonts are the fonts pre-installed on every device. They appear on all operating systems. This collection of fonts is used by Windows, Mac, Google, Linux, Unix, and so on.

There may be a few more, but this is a list of the common web-safe fonts:

  • Arial
  • Helvetica
  • Times New Roman
  • Courier New
  • Courier
  • Verdana
  • Georgia
  • Comic Sans MS
  • Trebuchet MS
  • Arial Black
  • Impact

Not super appealing; let's be honest.

But, with CSS3, we can now add our own custom fonts, by using @font-face. Let...
