37,033 PointsI feel like I've become a bit of a website snob.
So I've been surfing the web today trying to get things done like getting my banking in order, trying to get emails from a forum I'm on to email certain members, and then of course surfing the forums here and I feel like every site has driven me batty except treehouse because they aren't very responsive if they are at all. I mean I took the class and felt like most of it was really easy to do but I'm looking at half the sites I'm on and just seeing nothing. I don't know, maybe it's just education making me raise the bar some? Anyone else like this?

6,574 PointsMelissa, I personally love looking at some really neat websites and in Chrome do an inspect element to look at the code structure they used. I know a great web developer can hide his code in php ect, but because of what I am learning, I too have become a bit of a web scholar lol. Its a good thing....right? ^_^

4,886 PointsMelissa, When you want to create a website by your own start of by planning. In this case sketch you're webpage on paper and draw how you want it to look like. It's more easier to actually follow a plan then go by brain storming. Trust me :)
If you have problems with coding html and css code, just google it.
Try use wordpress for a while also, it's a great tool and very easy to use. Just remember html&css coding comes with practice :)

37,033 PointsI think I'm okay with HTML and CSS. I was just noting that since I took the classes which I found surprisingly easy, I find myself being harsh to other sites I see like my bank's site and my forum's site because they have no adaptive or responsive design in place.

w3schools is ok but http://docs.webplatform.org/ http://dev.opera.com/, and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ sites are a lot better. Also, w3.org is the official w3c site ... I hope you get some use out of these sites!

37,033 PointsGood point. I guess I should also try to remember that I was largely noticing that detail because my bank was giving me a customer service run around at the time and remember that I've always been less than a fan of my forum's design.

37,033 PointsYeah, I guess it's how some performers are. Most people can enjoy almost anything but when a performer watches something they are trained in they are much more critical about it. Guess that means I'm becoming a web designer or something.
