Code a Small Business Website using popular web frameworks

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course is for the beginner who wants to get a quick introduction to various popular front-end CSS frameworks by recreating the same project multiple times. By taking this course you’ll get introduced to the latest versions of Bootstrap 4, Bootstrap 5, Bulma, Semantic UI, Foundation 6 and Materialize. These frameworks are some of the most popular ones used today by web designers and developers all over the world.

In this course you’ll learn how to create a Small Business Website using various popular front-end CSS frameworks. Using one framework at a time I will start from scratch and walk you through how to create the same project. The project created with each framework will have the same general layout and design, however there will be some small visual differences from project to project due to the specific features and styles of the various frameworks.

The idea behind re-creating the same project with different frameworks is to learn how each framework use different code structure, classes and attributes to create the same kind of component. You will also learn how each framework differ in the visual style of each component, and learn what is possible and what isn’t with each framework.
