10:10 Web Design: Layout Step-by-Step

What was planned before the snow day:

Tuesday – work on a class step-by-step as a class to code our CAWD go-to layout.
Wednesday – start working to independently use this layout.

What we are going to do instead:

Wednesday – work as a class to step-by-step code our go-to layout. Completing this so it mimics what I code up front will be your CAWD Web project this week.
Future weeks we will code independently and build upon our Center Channel layout.

In CAWD we are going to work to work to memorize an industry standard responsive web layout that we see in the wilds of the internet. When working with clients, school projects, portfolios, etc you will all have the knowledge build this industry standard layout from the ground up, modify it – understand how it ticks.

The layout we are going to work with I often refer to as a “Center Channel Layout”. Once you learn to look for them, you start it everywhere. Some examples:

We are going to build a Responsive Design inspired by this industry standard. We are going to practice:

Flexbox
Fixed Positioning
Block document flow (default, to counteract the absolute positioning in mobile)
Responsive Design
Using the Inspector

We are going to start by creating a folder called “centerChannel” in our “week_26” folder.

We are going to work and save, and at the end turn our work in for grade.
