Do I make myself a style guide before starting to code?

Question

When in the web design/development process is the best time to start thinking about more concrete measurements of the single elements of a website? Since I want to make a website by myself should I make myself a styleguide before starting to get into the code? I'm overwhelmed and not sure what to learn first: more about good design or html/css and JS. How do you do the work all by yourself whats now mostly split up between Designers and Programmers?

Answer 1

if im getting this right, and correct me if im wrong, your asking so I need a sheet telling me all the styles for css, and the answer is no, you just need to learn them and memorize them because you wont have one if you get a job involving coding.

Answer 2

mostly... it is advisable to do what you can first.. remember that this one that you can do first is easier... anyway, it is a good practice to divide your problem.. I will say that go for UI first.. for me.. An attractive UI will keep me at bay working harder every time I see it.. I believe it will even affect positively my coding
