How to Layout a Website

The vast majority of questions I receive boil down to How to Layout a Website!

While I’m not going to say it is easy to make a website. It takes time! However, I think anyone can learn to layout a website if they grasp some core concepts.

In my next series of videos I’m going to focus on everything you need to know to layout a website using just a text editor.

Code is Here:

    You explain things so WELL. Thank you!
    I have a little confusion, #pageWrapper wraps the entire page. So why when you styled the border in css it ONLY went around the header and not entire page?? Im not understanding that part.

    Well, it was 2011 year and reasons to use HTML 4 are explicit. So could you film another one video using HTML 5 (because of I didn't use HTML 4 syntax, this document defenition overwhelmed me). Also I would appreciate explanation of clearfix, grid and flex.

    I've failed at font… ffs
    So, i c/p some font where i can see a clear difference, just for the test run.
    If i don't have
    body{ font-family:xxx, sans-serif;}
    new font doesn't apply, ofc if i delete it and go strait to
    #pageWrapper and just start typing {font: 80px 'xxx';}
    i dont have a different font at all.

    hey derek, are you putting the css code in with the html code on the same page. Can you do that. Nice

    Derek, great vid, but it went a little blurry, so I could not see what you were doing, but i find that you are so right, its just box on the site and learning how to control them take time.

    wouldn't it be cell phone friendlier to only use percentages to size and locate objects instead of units of length?

    I kind of lost you near the end when you copied and pasted in a menu. I'll watch it and other videos and maybe I'll figure it out.

    I just finished your HTML 5 tutorial video and I am wondering if these videos for designing/layout a website from 2011 are still good to watch with HTML 5 in mind. Thanks
