Responsive Web Design LiveLessons

When I first started creating video backgrounds I was surprised to learn that making the video for the backgrounds was the hardest part. So as part of my new video series “Learn Responsive Web Design LiveLessons” I included a lesson on building video backgrounds. And it’s available for you to watch for free.

How much do you know about mobile design?

Mobile design is important because more and more people are moving from computers to mobile devices. It seems like every year heralds the announcement of the demise of computers and the increase in the use of mobile devices. And while that growth has been happening for a while, it really is starting to seem true. But even though we’ve been warned for years about the growth of mobile, many web designers are still reluctant to design for mobile simply because it’s a change, and change is hard.

In my latest project, the 7th edition of HTML, CSS & JavaScript Web Publishing in One Hour a Day, I give the book a focus on mobile design that it didn’t have before. I believe that responsive web design is an important, if not critical, design focus, and being responsive means being mobile friendly. So there is an entire new chapter focused on mobile design.

This lesson covers:

How browsing habits on mobile differs from desktop
Standards for writing mobile web pages
How to write for mobile and online customers
Designing pages and layout for mobile
Optimizing your content
Other habits you should get into for mobile web design

While responsive web design uses CSS to adjust web designs to respond to the devices viewing the page, you need to start with good HTML.

In chapter 5, you will learn:

How to write HTML for RWD
How to build a basic web page with HTML5
What semantic elements are and how to use them
Why valid HTML is important

And this chapter is available for free on the Informit website.

Note that if you’re a complete novice to HTML, this chapter will only be a starting place. It’s intended as an introduction to the minimum HTML you might need to do RWD. If you need to learn HTML, you should check out my first Sams book: Sams Teach Yourself HTML5 in 24 Hours (get a copy).

Sams Teach Yourself Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS3 in 24 Hours

You have a website, but you lose customers almost before they arrive. Or you don’t even have a website so you can’t even attract the customers you know you want.

More and more of the people viewing the web are doing so on small screen phones and tablets. But if you designed a site just for laptop and desktop screens, you are alienating a large segment of your potential audience. And if you don’t have a website, you’re even worse off.

If you’re a web designer planning a redesign or a small business owner who wants to build a website (or redesign your existing one), after reading this free chapter, you will:

learn how to plan a responsive website that works for mobile and computer users
have a plan for a fast loading site
save time doing a site redesign
save money on a redesign or site creation

I have been writing about web design and HTML since 1997, and this free chapter comes from my third book on web design. This chapter from the book Sams Teach Yourself Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS3 in 24 Hours encapsulates my years of experience and knowledge designing websites.
