Today, I want to both rant a little and offer some guidance to the aspiring web builders out there.
If you want to become an incredibly powerful web designer, builder, or web developer, there’s one essential step you shouldn’t overlook: mastering the basics of HTML and CSS.
Honestly, learning HTML and CSS isn’t as hard as it may seem. In fact, with just one day of focused learning, you can grasp the fundamental concepts that form the backbone of web itself.
Consider, for example, the simple yet crucial idea of setting an element’s color to red. Understanding how to apply a property like color: red might seem basic, but it’s one of the many small steps that build your overall skill set.
Similarly, getting comfortable with layout properties such as knowing the difference between position: relative and position: absolute can dramatically affect how you structure your web pages. And then there are properties like display: none and display: flex, which, while simple, are immensely powerful in controlling how elements behave on the screen.
Learning just most used 50 CSS properties will give you superpowers.
With these basic concepts under your belt, you’ll find that tools like Bricks Builder and literally any other web builder become much easier to use.
This knowledge is highly transferable. Whether you’re switching between different platforms or exploring new frameworks, the core principles of HTML and CSS remain the same, allowing you to adapt quickly and confidently.
In essence, dedicating just a single day to understand these basic concepts can open up a world of possibilities. It not only enhances your ability to design aesthetically pleasing and functional websites but also gives you the flexibility to work across various web-building platforms without feeling limited by a single tool.
Isn’t it amazing how such a straightforward investment of time and effort can significantly boost your skills and make you a much more powerfull developer?
Learning a visual builder doesnt mean you dont have to learn any html or css.
Even you dont have to code anything you still need to know basics and if you dont you will never know how to solve even a simple problem!
Don’t fall for the lie that you don’t need to know or code anything, if a tool or plugin says this, avoid it like a disease.
