Project 4 — CMS & Multi-Page Responsive Website

Objective: Recreate a pixel perfect design, and solve responsive design problems.

The next step is to create a static, responsive, multi-page website. There are many free templates available online, but it can be difficult to find one you will be proud of after taking the time to build it. At this point, I would recommend spending a bit of money on a design. Remember, you are trying to become a web developer not a designer. Don’t expect to be able to learn both skills at once; there are many developers who just aren’t designers and vice versa. The point is to focus on web development!

The Mightycopier is a really great starting place for new learners. They have the opportunity to build something they can feel proud of while still being challenged. The Conquer template utilizes Wordpress, but it is important to avoid using this to build the project. This template offers many different layouts and challenges that a web developer may encounter in the real world. This forces new learners to think for themselves and delve into new technologies like flex box and floats to gain confidence in CSS layout techniques.
