How Can I Become A Better Web Designer ?

Question

Hi guys, I hope you are all doing well with your career 😊 let's dive in :
I learned all the skills which are needed to become a front-end developer (HTML5, CSS3 AND BOOTSTRAP) and I keep practicing and trying to make some adaptive or static good looking websites however beside what I make with bootstrap I am very bad at making good looking websites I really need to know where or what I need to learn how design some websites parts like HEADERS & FOOTERS by the way I am a very good back-end developer I hope someone answers thanks in advance!

Answer 1

For me, its important to do practice rather than learning, as you have already learnt the basic. Also, try to find out what style you like instead of keeping using default style like bootstrap. This will be a hard step, but it will be really helpful in the future. Another advice is to get some knowledge on js and DOM to make your app more flexible.

Answer 2

1. grab some ready-made templates and study their code.
2. inspect some live successful websites and note the marketing elements they use.
3. combine these elements with the code you know and generate your own, then spread them to the appropriate websites positions.
4. get rid of bootstrap and start using CSS Grid to give your personal styling to the layout.
5. make clean code and minimal styling when you start, then add things according to experience and feedback.
6. always keep in mind that what people like to see on a website is not always the same with what you like to put there.

good luck!

Answer 3

This, for me, is a bit subjective, since there are people who have the ability to make great designs without studying anything about them and there are other people who have problems with it.

In any case, I recommend seeing other people's designs and learning basic design principles (spacing, fonts, color combination, etc)

Answer 4

If you already know HTML5 and CSS3 you will have no problem designing headers or footers or interactive responsive web pages. But to become a real expert and have a lot more control then you need to learn JavaScript. For backend add Node.js.

Answer 5

practice....

Answer 6

experiment different things

Answer 7

practice and do html/js challenges

Answer 8

apart from practice which is key...
I think better know ledge on anything will make you better in that thing....
so more research.... more....maybe...
my opinion...

Answer 9

try to make over free templates, make some improvement, understand the workflow first, and eliminate the rest, the rest are accesories

Answer 10

If you wants to be a web developer, all you need to learn is... Html & CSS! and you are ready to set fire on the stage.

but in order to become an expert in this field. go make some research, how to go with the flow.

web development splits itself into 2 different wings.

1. Frontend
2. Backend

Try exploring some more front end technology like, sass, less, bootstrap, jQuery libraries, vue.js, angular.js etc.

As per my knowledge and experience, one should try to land a job only with the basics as regular practice lets the person know everything down the lane.

thanks
