How to Build a Responsive Website From Start to Finish - Discovery & Documentation - Part1 

This is probably the best tutorial I have ever seen on RU-vid (considering I haven't seen the other videos from this series). You have my respect :)

I love how you used the mindmap to clear up all the important questions before starting work, this is a great way to avoid any misunderstandings and wasting time/money later on.

This series is almost 2 years old. Just starting it now, im sure its still great and relevant!! thanks!

Thank you, the biggest issue I have to starting any project is knowing were to start. This video has had a big impact on my learning progression. Again Thank you

Travis! I learned more with you in this tutorial than I have learned through all other methods COMBINED. I am so stoked to have found this tutorial series that honestly, I can hardly contain myself. See you in the subsequent tutorials. G

Great setup to the rest of the tutorials! Thanks. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I just started my own lil' design company and my biggest weakness is organization. You just called me out and made me actually decide to get Twello and work extensively on that aspect. Very good video and you know what you are doing!

Hey! I loved the first video specially emphasising on planning. Thank you. Cant wait to see what is in store in the upcoming videos :D

Putting my comment here in part #1 just to encourage everyone to watch this show. Travis, you are a *ROCKSTAR*. Thanks for this awesome series and your hard work to bring your knowledge to us. My kindest regards from Germany to wherever you are located...

I used to do my sites all by hand, all of it in HTML and that was a while ago. I am a graphic designer that _wants_ to learn the new way to do things, this has really helped me out, as I do this all in my head and on paper, but it's really helpful to see it structured from the ground up. Thanks for this series I am following at my own pace as I have an autoimmune illness, so this really helps!

This is a top quality video, very professionally done. Not so frequent on YT. I tremendously enjoyed this, Travis.

Thanks Dev Tips, thanks Travis. I have share this video before it was even finished :-) . Keep on.

You said it my friend! The ability to make a solid plan before making things is a sign of maturity. So glad you mentioned that!

Just had this video pop up on my recommended feed, glad that i watched it. Looking forward to the rest of the series :)

My mate & I have just started our own Web Design business &a we've just had our first client. Creating a workflow from the ground up has been challenging but your vids have honestly been so helpful!! Thank you!!

Great video, can't wait to see the rest of the series!

How did I not see this series until now?! Thanks Travis for the awesome content!

I know this is an old video .. I only stumbled across your youtube channel recently ... I must say Bro you rock ... please keep up the good work .. and may god always bless and keep you in good health and spirit .....

Thanks this was really awesome I've been looking for a series like this and I'm so glad I found you. Thanks! (again)

A thanks from AFGHANISTAN thank you very much Travis! I was hardly stacked in the where to start option and you solved it. thanks again! cheers

Easy to understand and non-intimidating intro to building a website. Loved it.

Cool video - Love the fact that you've started off with, and emphasised, the importance of the planning process. Super!

Bro. We'll done man. Looking forward to the rest of your process and thinking!

Thank you Travis! This is the exact thing I was looking for!

I've been looking for a series that guides me through the workflow for ages, Thank you so much for making this

Love the video! The part about planning before jumping right in with a project definitely applies to any project, thanks for the advice!

Brilliant video man! Couldn't have asked for any better :)

Really nice approach showing how you do and enjoyably to watch, look forward to the rest.

Really helpful stuff Dev! You talk to the point and kept things simple, easy to understand and apply.. Thanks Dev. You Rock!! :)

good job travis, i like your way to do things, we learn and have fun :D.

Brilliant! Very inspiring and is helping a lot. Looking forward to completing the series!

thanks dev. I am a mechanical engineer/ entrepreneur and need to start building my websites to get my businesses out in the world. This helps so much!

I just wanted to say a big thank you for this video which I have just come across today as I am trying to learn coding. The information out there is so much but to have someone to tell you here are some good practices from scratch is so invaluable. This video has been so super helpful already. THANK YOU.

Thank you very much Devtips > actually "Travis" your videos are very HELPFUL i appreciatie your work very much

I'm really excited for this! You're doing a great job Travis, imho you really have a gift for making these guide. Keep it up, and I'm sure this'll be one of the biggest dev channels on youtube one day!

At the beginning I planned to make wordpress web with nice random theme, but I found Your tutorial "part 1" and now I'm doing page from scratch with You. You inspired me. :) Thanks

Hello Travis. Thank you for your work. I have been learning HTML, CSS and some Javascript, and only have a vague idea of how to plan a site. I'm glad I found your video, which I enjoyed, and I'm excited to continue the rest of the series. Thanks!

Thank you a lot Travis!!! You don't imagine the goody that you bring in to my life hehe. I really love this and your way to teach! I was very upset and frustrated with the wick way I learned -nothing- now I getting back to this nice stuff again! Thank you so much!!!!

I love your "Strengths" talk, it helps.

great video series travis, i realy love it

Thank you so much! I landed here firstly to learn how to build a responsive website from scratch, but truth is: I haven't really thought about what I wanted and planed it correctly in the first place. You helped me review my goals and ways to achieve them. I am definitely keep watching this series and liking each one of them. Great job there. Again, thank you so much for clarifying things. Also: Trello is a great tool indeed.

Your series is fantastic and very helpful! Thank you so much for this series!

Thank you so much for this. My confusion cloud is clearing up. I know I have to get an expert to get it all done. But, now I know how to guide the guy along the path I have planned out. It will serve my purpose, and it will be easier for my experts to know exactly what I am asking for!

Can't wait for next video! Thanks.

Brilliant introduction to starting a web project. The analysis and conceptual design is what I find the hardest to do because I don't really know how to properly assess requirements or have had real difficulty in eliciting the information from a client.

Planning is such an important part of building a website and is disregarded by most designers, what a great video!

I was going no where while planning a company website I am building. This gave me a good start.

Thanks for this series, Travis! You really provide us with a fantastic workflow experience :)

I love these series of tutorials. I think Travis gets to the real deal of what needs to be learned - and that is what I like. Thanks a ton for your knowledge, guidance, and most of all not going "off-topic" in your videos.. I will be watching the rest of the DEVTIPS series

This is awesome for someone who wants to start working on projects. Thank you very much.

Thanks for sharing your experience Travis.

You are an amazing instructor! Thank you for taking it apart piece by piece! This is so helpful and this is exactly how I think. I am excited to get moving on building a quality website with you as my guide.

Thanks for the great video! I can't wait to watch them all! :D

Appreciate you making these videos. They are a great help.

Nice presentation on planning a web development project, getting the thought process ducks in a row! Thanks!

This sort of stuff is really amazing and really useful. Thanks a lot!

I am glad that I found these series. Very helpful! Thank you!

Great series. Really enjoyed this episode and learned few tricks to use in my projects. Good job Travis!

Thanks Travis!!!! Its awesome all the help you give us with your videos.

Love the video, Dev! I've installed Mind Node a couple of weeks now, really surprised to see you using it as well. Had never heard of Trello, but absolutely love it!! Downloading as we speak. Thanks for this!

Thank you for sticking to the "marketing" for this first video. This applies to all projects/products with a customer on the other end really. A lot of the time, people do not put enough empathy (as you phrased it) into the product, so thank you for voicing this in the start! :)

Thank you so much! I'm super glad I found your video!

Way late to the party. Just found the channel and going through the vids from the beginning (plus watching new content). I must say that, while all of your videos have been extremely helpful, this epitomizes why I keep watching. It's not just about coding and a quick, easy solution. You take time to explain as well as share expertise right from the field. I echo words already said by others. This helped me to slow down and think further on a current project I'm working on during my self-teaching journey. Thanks for this.

Can't believe I never knew about Trello or MindNode. Thanks for sharing, such a simple and effective way to organize and map out ideas!

Great stuff. Seriously, very helpful.

You have made me realise how disorganized I am. Thanks for that... I'm truly grateful!

FANTASTIC!! This is just the type of Information I've been looking for. #Goosebumps

Wow, i'm so pumped for this!

Excellent - appreciate the series and more so, this vid, where you show some Design Thinking for a website to drill down to what needs to be on a site...

This video helped me, because i redesign my things all the time and I'm never done. It is good to plan first, think and arrive from that.

So true! The most important work is planning and strategizing when starting a new web design project

This is an awesome channel, so glad I found it. So helpful!

I think that you bring some really great points about the start of the design process. Planning is crucial to ensuring that the client will be happy with the results you produce.

Wow, another great video from Travis! It's like having a mentor teaching you, in a very effective way. It's your way of explaining things, randomly saying funny things. You are funny. Hehehe. Also you put a lot of effort in your tutorials, that what makes them great! I can't wait to see the other videos in this series. Thankyou Travis, keep on inspiring people, you're the man! :D :)

A big Thank you ...i had been searching for videos that explains the real process. Unfortunately there is not much help for a beginner. You explained everything so well.:)

Hey man this is just awesome! You`re style of explanations is brilliant, interesting, and simple. Thank you so much!

Only on the first video but I'm excited to see the rest! Your thoughts really helped to solidify a lot of things for me. I was already using Trello but I thought that the inordinate amount of time that I spend in the planning stages was a bad thing! It's great to hear your perspective and I think you're absolutely right, the ability to make a solid plan before jumping into projects is the mark of a good designer.

Great tips! Very helpful, looking forward to watch all your videos. God bless!

You are absolutely right, plan is everything in a project, thanks for this awesome sharing! This is very very helpful!

Love it i am going to follow this right the way through. My biggest bugs has been organizing my ideas in a easy fashion thanks so much for the Trello tool tip.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SEARCHING ON ! live as a programmer for almost two year, i really want to make something out of my ideas. But i dont know where to start from. I just know how to code. Thank you very much travis ! I will be your patronize as soon as my business gone stable.

Great video series! I'm putting your guidelines into practice as I go along. When I was in Trello, I found that new ideas would spring to mind and I would then backtrack and update these in the mind map; as well as Trello. I could minimize this by trying to get the mind map completed first and then move on; but as you know, there's always reason to revise. I'm using FreeMind (free mind mapping tool) which has support for icons, notes, HTML views and all sorts of things. I haven't got to the stage of moving items along a workflow, like from one list to another in Trello, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Each list in Trello corresponds to a node in the mind map and each card in a Trello list is just another child node in the mind map. The great thing about this is that each node in the mind map can contain any number of child nodes and each of these can be decorated with a heap of things. One thing I found limiting with Trello (from my limited experience anyway), is that it doesn't seem like you can create sub-checklists to further define feature requirements. If you click on a checklist item, there's an option to promote it to a card; but the same can't be done with the checklist itself (not in an obvious way from what I could see). I'm tempted to move onto the next video, but have to restrain myself until this stage is completed. I can't wait though and look forward to seeing more of your tutorials. Thanks heaps :)

This is awesome! I appreciate your hard work!

I really enjoyed it. It was so informative and I like the way you explain things. keep it up and thank you very much

That is awesome, thanks Travis

Travis! Thank you so much for making this video. I have already created my own account on Trello and will be purchasing Mindnode. I find your approach to be insightful, practical, and elegant. I can't wait to learn more from your series. Thanks again!

Thanks, that's really awesome!!I'll be watching all the vidieos you'll post!!

Great video. I'm looking forward to the rest. I hate being early to the party though. Lol I wish I could fast forward the next few weeks. :)

Great series!! Im waiting for the next part :)

Why didn't i discover this sooner?! Awesome stuff!

REALLY GOOD STUFF! RU-vid should have been around when I was in college lol

Great philosophy here. Subscribed. Watching more. Thank you you're awesome.

This was really useful! I came here to get some coding tips, but this is more of a general approach to delivering client value, and you did a great job. Merci!

Great video. Love the mind mapping and organising tools you used

I wish I saw this two years ago. Thank you so much for sharing.

Love how this made me step back and THINK! Thank you!!!!!!

Majestic in simplicity!

Thanks for the TRELLO Tip!!!

I believe this video was great. It made me start looking at the way that I work differently. I am recreating the church website...Great job!!

You are totally right man about the thinking stuff. I do not personally like it but it is a thing that needs to be done
