Do you realize that the only functionality of a web application that the user directly interacts with is through the web page? Implement it poorly and, to the user, the server-side becomes irrelevant! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones.
This course offers a step-by-step guide to building a fully functional and responsive website for a real client. Starting from understanding client requirements, the course shows all aspects of website development. It covers topics from lessons on coding a website header and navigation menu, crafting a responsive homepage and menu page using Bootstrap and CSS to resolving potential website resize issues for a seamless mobile experience. The course emphasizes hands-on learning, guiding learners in creating a restaurant website. Through building the restaurant website, learners will gain expertise in requirements gathering, website design and development, responsive web design, and ensuring a visually appealing and user-friendly website that works across all devices.
Ready for some REAL fun? This course is it! We'll go over some basics of interacting with a client when managing a web site project and then go visit a real client at their place of business (a Chinese restaurant), help the owner figure out what she wants in a site, and get acquainted with the restaurant in general. We'll spend the rest of the course building a real web site for this business from scratch and you'll get to sit next to me and watch as the site comes together.

would have given a 5 star but the program needs to be updated and some lessons need to be longer

This course was very good. The Prof covers a lot of material, I needed to take my own notes, and stop the video a lot to make sure I got it.
