HAND CODING A WEBSITE

“But I’ve already got a website…”

A Site That’s Really Your Own

− No CMS, bulky frameworks, or themes = full control! !− Sharpen your HTML, CSS and JS skills to a razor edge. !

− Developers will take you seriously. !− It’s an awesome springboard.

New Skills

− “Ah, that’s how it works.” !
