“How do I pick typefaces, how do I pick colors, what the heck is whitespace, and how do I position and size elements correctly?” These are exactly the kinds of questions which we’ll address in this beginner web design tutorial.
In terms of fundamentals, you’ll learn about color, typography, spacing, sizing, imagery, and responsive web design. We’ll discuss the theory, best practices, and some tools you can use to make your job easier.
When it comes to common web design patterns, you’ll learn about the elements you can use to design a web page—things like headers, hero areas, buttons, image galleries, contact forms, and more.
For each of these patterns, we’ll look at the definition and some use cases, and then we’ll apply that knowledge to a demo project: a three-page portfolio website designed specifically for this course.

Great tutorial
ossum session 🙂
Thank you
You're so so so good 😊😊😊
Thank you very much
how do you pick a color from a logo or somewhere else on windows i can’t find an app for windows that would see color that you click on
At the exact frequency 1:04:16, there you showed a command. I have windows 10 so, which button should I press so that to take the sample of color from the Project Brief? Please reply me early so that I move on with this tutorial
In Figma for some reason the canvas is infinite. Any advice on how to resize it.?
nice
The best teacher ever…….Awesome
I never comment, but you are exceptional. Thank you so much, you are a great teacher! Thank you for providing something so valuable for free.
You are good
This is a truly excellent content. I still can't believe there is a 5-hour video going through such a process from the very beginning. Million thanks! And I do hope you make a video for responsive design. I know many say it is easy and one can learn it on their own but for me as a beginner it is still tricky.
excellent sir I cannot thank u enough for your efforts
Thank you for this high quality free course, I am reinforcing my skills and learning new stuff, very professional and compelling video….. God Bless you!
Very interesting cours so far. I just noticed that you say that the primary colors are Red, YELLOW and Blue. That's true when mixing pigments, i.e. paint. In the world of photography and web design, the actual primary colors are Red, GREEN, and blue. That could be confusing for some people.
thanks
You are really a good teacher, i feel very intrested to listen your classes🥰i just started it, i think iam little late to find your channel, thats ok iam only half hour in and i feel like i'm learning better from your teaching class than my multimedia college 😁its really helpful sir, thank you for this session 🥰 let me continue the rest😊

Thank you teacher for sharing a video about website design
