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.

/* Tablet Styles */
@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
  header {
    display: none;
  }
}

Now we want to show the hamburger-menu on mobile. We will need to create a div tag in HTML and show it only on a mobile, with CSS:

<div class="hamburger-menu">
   <img src="img/hambuger-icon.svg">
</div>    

We will place this just before the ending of our header tag </header>.

In CSS, we will need to hide  the hamburger in desktop view and show it only on mobile view:

.hamburger-menu {
  display: none;
}
/* Tablet Styles */
@media only screen and...
