The ULTIMATE Starter Pack for Web Designers

A handy little PDF full of web designer goodness

There are so many resources for web designers out there: books, blogs, classes, and more. Doesn’t it sometimes feel like there’s TOO much information?! It is so darn tricky to navigate and separate the good from the bad, and find your staple resources.

We feel your pain, and we’re here to fix it!

Download this ultimate starter pack pdf, including the Skillcrush team’s favorite resources for web designers. Rather than hundreds of tools and thousands of links, you’ll find a curated and categorized list of mostly FREE resources.

Remember how much of a godsend CliffsNotes was when you read The Odessey in freshman year English? This guide is exactly like that, but for your web design career!

Download the guide to find:

• The best resources for picking colors and creating color palettes
• Where to find gorgeous (free!) stock photos
• Our favorite font and icon libraries
• And so much more!

PLUS!! For a limited time only, we’re giving away the Basics of Web Design PDF! 

We used to charge for access to this guide, but we’re giving it away to you FREE as part of this web design starter pack. The Basics of Web Design pdf outlines the building blocks that you need to start designing for the web. We walk you through the six-part design process that we follow at Skillcrush, developed over seven years of working in the biz. Some of the steps are meant to inspire you to find your way, while others provide specific guidelines on how professionals do it.

You’ll learn:

• Key web design terms every designer should know
• What you can and can’t control on the web
• Best practices for organizing your Photoshop files
• When to use a grid system, and when to break that grid
• Checklists on how to prepare your designs for code
• What code you should take the time to learn
• Why you should never typeset in pure black
