March 24, 20197 yr so i know web templates are consist of some elements with empty content so how i make it ? with css and html ? or i hear many ppl use photoshop ? how to get the final result of a ready web template
March 24, 20197 yr Your questions don't make a lot of sense. The concept of a template is a set of files that can be used on multiple sites. When you download a template from a supplier is comes with all the components you need to build a website. The structure of the template depends on the platform you intend to use. If you are building a static site an html/css template will do the job. If you want to use a CMS then the template needs to hook into the database for the content. But if you are only building a single website then the idea of building a template is irrelevant as all you need to do build the site the way you want it. People may use photoshop to sketch out some layout ideas but it's not a good tool to use to build the actual site files.
March 24, 20197 yr To be equivalent to what you just asked I'd have to ask how to make a car. I would suggest first a direction and then a course, for example, do you want to be a designer or a developer, and once you know that, do you want to be a front end designer or just a designer...

March 25, 20197 yr You can indeed just make web pages or templates with html and css. No need to use php or python or javascript or photoshop or anything else. It's a good way to start
August 23, 20196 yr In case u're a beginner in web development, you can try actually to make websites in CMS systems, wordpress is the most adaptable one, lots of useful plugins and helpful additional tools. Regarding to design ideas you can search here https://www.awwwards.com/ (my fav sourse) or look for some on creative agencies portfolio i get lots of inspiration on such sourses

More people are using phones and tablets to search than ever before. It would be nice for sites like that to take a mobile first approach - mainly because many designs just don't work well on a phone - the UX is often very poor. u're?

August 23, 20196 yr I agree, my point was that all the designs on awwards are desktop view. The designers aren't showing how the site works on a small screen. It's where many designs fall down.
August 23, 20196 yr The problem I've always found with showcase sites like that is that yes some of the designs look nice but they often fail massively on accessibility and usability. "All style and no substance".
