To make sure that you stay sharp in terms of design skills this year, Walyou Deals offers you the Learn to Design 2016 bundle, a collection of nine courses that’ll help you master Web design.

The Learn to Design 2016 Bundle includes nine lengthy and comprehensive courses that represent the shortest path to creating great designs for websites and apps. In the long run, that could pave the way for a great career as a designer, so don’t let this opportunity pass by. As per usual, this eLearning bundle is offered on Walyou Deals at a heavily discounted price, meaning that when ordering it, you’ll end up paying only 4% of the retail price.

Rob Percival’s Mobile App Design in Sketch 3: Learn UX/UI From Scratch, the first course in the bundle and at $199 in value one of the three most expensive, includes six hours of content that will cover the most important aspects of Sketch 3, a powerful UX/UI tool.

Deimantas Brandišauskas’ Mobile App Design: Learn UX/UI and Start Freelancing Career course, with its 6 hours of content, can turn app ideas to reality. Planning, researching, sketching and wireframing the app’s UX will no longer be unfamiliar concepts.

Chris Converse’s Creating a Responsive Web Design course, on the other hand, focuses on learning responsive design, configuring a website’s HTML, stylizing its layout using CSS and create overall great looking designs.

As its name strongly suggests, BiteSizedSchool’s Web Design: HTML & CSS For Rookies course can help you create simple websites that basically represent the basis of future, more complex ones.

Evan Kimbrell’s Rapid Prototyping for Entrepreneurs – Build a Demo in 2 Hours course teaches rapid prototyping principles over nine hours of content, so that you can create real demos of an app in just two hours.

Brian Gorman’s Bootstrap UI Development For Everyone course brings one of the most widely adopted frameworks for the Web under the magnifying glass. It includes 7 hours of content that ensure a smooth path towards responsive web pages. Some of the aspects that are covered in this course includes installing bootstraping tools, working with a responsive grid, formating page elements, implementing advanced page components, inserting carousels and building automation.

Much like other courses from this bundle, Code College’s Learn Web Designing & HTML5/CSS3 Essentials in 4-Hours covers everything you need to know to get started with HTML5 and CSS3.

Last, but definitely not least, Chris Dixon’s Mobile First & Responsive Web Design: Build Modern Websites! course teaches you why responsive design is important.

Placekitten Provides You With Kitties to Use as Placeholders

Posted on by

PlaceKitten

If you’ve ever tried designing a website or doing the layout for a magazine, then you already know how tedious the entire process can be. It’s all well and good if you already have all the elements you need when you start working on the project. Chances are, you won’t, though, and that’s why you need placeholders.

You can just fire up your basic image editor to create placeholders in the size that you need–or you could head on over to Placekitten instead. It’s a free service that offers adorable pictures of kittens that you can use as placeholders. The site can generate any image size that you need. All you have to do is add the dimensions after the URL (width followed by height), and your kitten is good to go.

For example, for a 300×400 image, just type: http://placekitten.com/300/400. Pretty neat, huh?

Placekitten: Let Kitties Take the Place of Blank Spaces in Web Designs

Posted on by

Who doesn’t love kittens? I’m no professional web designer, but I’ve tried designing a site or two, and let me just say it involved a lot of hard work. One of the tiring aspects of web design is having to insert placeholders for designs, images, or code that aren’t ready yet.

So to make that aspect of design less of a pain and a bit more fun, Placekitten was born.

Placekittenmagnify

It’s essentially an image gallery of sorts that was created with web designers in mind. Using the site, developers, designers, and cat lovers can generate various sizes of cat and kitten images that can be used as placeholders in their designs. Just use the URL below to get started.

http://placekitten.com/width/height

For example, if you want an image that’s 300×200, just type “http://placekitten.com/300/200” into your URL to get your correctly-sized kitty.

Here’s a couple of examples generated by the service:

Awwwwww. Placekitten exists thanks to Mark James.
