Mockups to Code

Part 1 Setup & HTML

A big and normal struggle is to take a mockup and turn it into a website.

Let's do it together.

This site is inspired by: Hullo https://hullopillow.com

Start with our Mockup

Determine our Components and the Elements they are Made Up of

Start Coding

  • cd build
  • open index.html and main.css in your text editor
  • open index.html in the browser, check that background color is set.
Important to Note

Our website will be going through an awkward phase. It won't look good with just HTML, but as long as we have a good structure and plan we will get it looking great!

Add CSS Helpers and General styles

CSS Helpers

On the first line:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Baloo+2&family=Fredoka+One&display=swap');
/*********************************
* Build Helpers
*********************************/
/* give each element a border */
* {
  border: 1px solid mediumvioletred5;
}

/* shrink images for placement */
img {
  width: 100px;
}
/*********************************
* General
*********************************/

body {
  background-color: snow;
  color: slategrey;
  margin: 20px 0;
  font-family: 'Baloo 2', cursive;
  text-align: center;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  margin: 0;
}

h2 {
  font-size: 1em;
}

h1 {
  font-family: 'Fredoka One', cursive;
}

Add Outer Containers

In the body

  • header
  • div with a class of container in that div
  • aside
  • main
  • footer
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Pillow Talk</title>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="./assets/imgs/favicon.ico">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>

    </header>
    <div class="container">
      <aside class="">

      </aside>
      <main>

      </main>
    </div>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>

Complete Header

insdie header tag

<header>
  <div>
    <h1>Pillow Talk</h1>
    <h2>The ultimate pillows, we rest our case!</h2>
  </div>
  <div>
    <h2>Get down with us</h2>
  </div>
</header>
Appearance

Complete Aside

<aside>
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li>Shop</li>
      <li>About</li>
      <li>Contact</li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
</aside>
Appearance

Complete Footer

Outside and below the closing div with the class of container

<footer>
  <h3> Sleep on it!</h3>
</footer>
Appearance

Complete Main

Main has more components

Firstly, make three 'rows' with div

<main>
  <div class="top-row">

  </div>
  <div class="middle-row">

  </div>
  <div class="bottom-row">

  </div>
</main>

Remember, these divs have a height and width of 0 when there is nothing inside of them. So we might just see more top/bottom borders appear.

In the interest of time, rather than having cards with text, we are just going to have images that have all the components.

Images are from Unsplash.com

Top Row

<div class="top-row">
  <img src="assets/imgs/all.png" alt="shop all">
</div>

The image is probably too big, let's shrink it for now

in main.css

img {
  width: 100px;
}

Middle Row

<div class="middle-row">
  <img src="assets/imgs/decorative.png" alt="shop decorative">

    <img src="./assets/imgs/sugar-collection.png" alt="shop sugar collection">
</div>

Bottom Row

<div class="bottom-row">
  <img src="./assets/imgs/press.png" alt="press">
  <img src="assets/imgs/blog.png" alt="blog">
  <img src="assets/imgs/m&e.png" alt="manufacturing and environment">
</div>
