Week 1a - Web Design

  • Web Development

    This website itself says more than I can ever say, but let me leave a few learning notes:
    1. Website doesn't need to be more complicated than simple HTML if you don't want to. I had simple HTML for half a semester.
    2. If you go for complicated design - use a template. There are so many templates online. Be aware of copyrights though (this template didn't have any).
    3. Make website easy to navigate, add preview images, and make it look nice.
    4. Document as you go (I know...).
