Welcome to Website QA for Designers

As a web designer, you want to make pixel perfect websites. But when it comes to someone else coding that website (aka. a web developer) they often  would not care as much as you do.

It is your job to make sure the web developer codes a website that looks exactly like your design, otherwise what was the point of designing the website in the first place?

In this course, I am going to show you a few tips and tricks to working with a web developer including the best way to make live website adjustments and sharing the changes you have  introduced with your developer in a way that is quick and friendly, but also helps the developer. 

There are two reasons you will  want to learn how to work better with a web developer:

• Web developers are notoriously known for being black and white thinkers. Saying things like, “add more spacing to the top” is too vague. Web developers do not know how much spacing to add.

• It will strengthen your relationship with your web developer peers and make you look like a web designing superhero. (Seriously, the designers I have worked with that do these tricks I present in this course are HEROES to their peers and employers)

What is in this course?

In this course you will  take a website I coded, and make live adjustments to it to make it look and feel better – as if you were working directly with me. The website you will  be QAing is rocketman.learnwagtail.com
