I'm wrapping up my Front-End Developer Professional Cert in a few months. This is gold! I'm nearly 2 yrs into my web dev journey learning Github, V.S.Code, and ReactJS, but I was trying to figure out how to put it all together. This video was great for giving direction in utilizing my skills to go from a client's needs to a finished website. Thanks so much for this. :)
Excellent Sebastian, the wireframe info was new to me. I have been learning on WP from UA-cam and this is the first time I have heard of the wire structure. Cheers mate.
I'm just starting out by building my own photography website and this tutorial helped me understand website design a lot! You're great at it keep it up!
Thank you soo much for this. Currently at my place of employment I work in the accounting department but have always been interested in web design. Our company has a guy who was too swamped to update our website so I asked my boss if I could take over and they both HAPPILY said yes. It’s half way done and I’m putting my spin on things. I truly feel like this was an answer to my prayers. My first client is my place of employment so it’s a win for me and a win for them.
Amazing work! My partner and I are still figuring out the services we would like to offer to clients and this is very informative and encouraging to have web design as part of the service. Good job!
Thank you so much for this video, I am currently working on a website proposal for one of my classes in my major and was not really sure how to complete it. This video helped me out alot
thanks seb really helped but how do i give them the website later when i am done and so they can also controll it and make som smaller changes as they probobly want to do
thank you so much...i got some many websites to build of my own...and i'm trying to see how do i put them together...i don't know yet but your video has helped me understand structure...i'm a graphics designer...so we are not taught web building but web designing...so thanks a lot...
question: While getting a domain or the CMS provider who is paying for it and at what stage of the development? When registering to CMS who gets the credentials to maintain and update the page? If the page showcases a gallery of some sort, a lightbox, how does a client create more galleries and uploads more pictures? Am I as a dev responsible for such updates?
The timing of this video is almost unreal. I'm starting my journey to building websites and might have my first client come this Friday (nervously excited because this one is paying). This video was so so helpful especially since you were using a builder too!
You can host on many platforms. I would recommend Heruku as it’s free. If you have a larger website I would recommend something like amazon’s aws which offers one year free
Hey Sebastian , could you please inform how much you used to charge for building/designing a basic/portfolio/brochure website? Especially, when you were beginning in this career.
This is player dog thank you. Building a website for my first client, a plumber and i understand html & css on an intermediate level. Super excited and overwhelmed cuz i promised a first rough draft by beginning of february but this video really helped lay my thought processes and plans out. Ill keep yall posted on how mine goes!!
@@siezard4663 funny you ask hahah. Not well. I ended up never finishing it. I was not a fan of wordpress. But now im a web designer and web developer working with webflow building websites and actually finishing client projects haha
I’ve made a handful of sites for myself on Wix before, and got really proficient at not using any templates and fully customizing as much as I could. I have graphic design experience but recently had a real estate agent come to me looking for a website based on a friends recommendation. Your story sounds the same as mine, I’m supposed to meet the client, and said yes to the job. My question is what do you think about making a website for a client using a builder like Wix?
Actually i don't think the client minds, because what they want is, that you, a professional, who knows this kinda stuff, builds a website for him, that looks awesome. They don't want to know HOW they just want to HAVE it done, to focuse on more important things for themselves. Hope that helped! XX
Love the video, makes me hopeful of starting my own web development side gig. I'm curious how you're doing with all this during the pandemic and the current economy? Are you still able to find clients?
Hey Sebastian, this is a fun video - really appreciate you putting it out there. I do a lot of website build demos on my channel too (mostly custom WordPress stuff) - have a small channel like yours but almost at my first 100 subs! :)
Yo, so I'm very much still in the phase of learning, but one of my mistakes insofar is I did not discuss terms or an outline a plan to release ownership. Learn from my mistake and make sure you discuss with your client what each party will be accountable for and set expectations. Otherwise misunderstandings may occur and it might sour the relationship.
Hey Sebastian, great video. One quick question...how do I go about using a domain that's already in use for a client. He already has a website but I'm renovating the page with the same domain and the same host that they used before the revamp. How should someone go about using an already existing domain? Should I take their domain info (Username and PW) and make the website with their info? Sorry if this doesn't make sense.
You can redirect the domain to go to the website you're already working on, all you need to do is change some of the DNS records. This process can vary depending on your website builder, hosting platform, and/or Doman registrar. I would encourage you search up "Transferring Domain, webflow university" Cheers.
I guess you could ask around see if somebody in your family has a business, or an outdated website. You probably won't be able to charge very much right away. But after a couple of finished projects, you would have a decent portfolio showing your skills, and experience. That's when you can start charging more. Btw I am n00b in that regard myself, it's just my strategy as of now
You can most definitely use Adobe XD for the mock-up. I would recommend that you only use the tools necessary to get your idea across. Using tools like Adobe XD drives up production cost and overhead, but if you are knowledgeable of that platform and it makes sense to use it I would say go for it.
Great video! Thanks for the info. Question: I'm new to this field and now in the market for a laptop.If you don't mind me asking what's your laptop of choice?
4th time making the video? I guess u had trouble with your recording set up? It's been a couple years so I'm guessing you've got it down good now? nice video
Thanks for the video man.. Do you know of any courses or something that go over everything you need to know to start freelancing with wordpress? I just graduated lambda school and we learned how to use react and other libraries and languages. Its mostly geared to get you hired at a company. But i dont want to do that at all (found out i could freelance half way through lambdaschool). I know im built to be a freelancer. I cant work under people. I have been trying to figure out how to make sure ill be successful freelancing. I am so close to just quitting my job and pursuing this but i know this isnt very responsible. :/ I definitely do not want to use react. Takes way too much time. Im so desperate to get started with this. Working for a company makes me feel so depressed.

Great video, thanks for sharing this knowledge
question:
While getting a domain or the CMS provider who is paying for it and at what stage of the development?
When registering to CMS who gets the credentials to maintain and update the page?
If the page showcases a gallery of some sort, a lightbox, how does a client create more galleries and uploads more pictures? Am I as a dev responsible for such updates?
My question also
broooooo, I appreciate this a ton. Thanks for all this GOLD
You bet!

Hey man, what do you use to actually create the website?
Liban I used Squarespace since they were that tech savvy and already had a domain name
Chidera O lol that was 3 weeks ago, I use WordPress now and got my first client 😅
Liban I did a social media cleanse and forgot to respond. Glad you got landed a client tho 💁🏾♀️
@@liban2 i need help. I want to make websites, how did you start? I'd love to talk about it with you, it'd mean a lot. My insta is bry_030
thanks, a lot man you saved my life love from india
1k subs soon! Lessgoooooo
I agree with an earlier statement, you definitely deserve more subs!
this was so helpful! I'm still confused about the web hosting
You can host on many platforms. I would recommend Heruku as it’s free. If you have a larger website I would recommend something like amazon’s aws which offers one year free
Thank you so much bro! Iwant to start building websites for fun and this was verryy helpful!!! You have a new subscriber :)
Fantastic video!

How to give the website to the client
Same goes to given after creating
Oh sheesh 🤣 I was worried that first glimpse of the karate site was the “after” 🙈😆 looks SO much better!!
This was very helpful thank you.
Excellent insight, thank you
this is such a good video thank you!!!!
Hey Sebastian , could you please inform how much you used to charge for building/designing a basic/portfolio/brochure website? Especially, when you were beginning in this career.
Really one among great video 👍
If you use Wordpress, you can avoid the whole wireframe thing and just make the client choose a theme right?
This is amazing advice.
Thank you!! It is really helpful for a newbie to grab an image.
Great video!
Thank you so much for this video

Hi Sebastian, thank you so much for this video! It helps me a lot. 🙏🙏 God bless

Is a blog the same as a website?
hi when you do webdesigns do you write out the text for them also? if so how do you know what to write if you dont know much about the industry
Hey Sebastian, this is a fun video - really appreciate you putting it out there. I do a lot of website build demos on my channel too (mostly custom WordPress stuff) - have a small channel like yours but almost at my first 100 subs! :)
So if I'm making it for someone else I buy the domain not the customer?
What course did you take on digital marketing?
@sebastian ky. Do you provide this service if your followers want you to do it for them?
This was so helpful!
is figma used to construct wireframes
should we use demo themes for our clients?
What if you want to make it mobile friendly
Hey quick question, do you also maintain the site for them?

Sebastian Ky thanks for responding, I’ll definitely come up with a plan for it

Hello I am a teenager in highschool and do you know any ways for someone like me to make money from coding or making website (not sketchy)? Thank you
I guess you could ask around see if somebody in your family has a business, or an outdated website. You probably won't be able to charge very much right away. But after a couple of finished projects, you would have a decent portfolio showing your skills, and experience. That's when you can start charging more.
Btw I am n00b in that regard myself, it's just my strategy as of now
How much can i charge for websites like this?
So u dont need any programming to build it ?
Correct
where did you learn to code?
Would you use adobe XD for the mockup part?
Thank you for the really nice video, it's great that you take us step by step, it's really reassuring!
You can most definitely use Adobe XD for the mock-up. I would recommend that you only use the tools necessary to get your idea across.

4th time making the video? I guess u had trouble with your recording set up? It's been a couple years so I'm guessing you've got it down good now? nice video
did you use laravel for back-end ?
Nope, no coding involved actually. It's just a drag and drop kind of process.
Great video mate maybe you could show how you upload it to his domain name?
