Clear and effective, however, am completely new to web design with no prior experiences. Maybe a bit more of a breakdown on what each application/software is used for, and where to find it. Especially if on PC vs Mac. :)

The website you create won't look like it was created in 2016, but that's a minor flaw. When starting to create websites, it's important to have a solid foundation in three languages of front-end development.
This also means being up-to-date with the latest developments. I'm mentioning it because the instructor opted for using floats and finicky calculations to position various parts of the website instead of using flexbox/grid or Bootstrap. Finally, there was structure and a goal throughout the lessons although some of them were made for correcting mistakes of the previous ones.
I still think using jQuery without teaching how JavaScript works is useless in the long run.

I have taken two courses from Laurence and have a couple of more. I am BRAND NEW to website building and some of the terminology is confusing. I guess I need to find some prerequisite classes on coding/programming. Presenter goes pretty fast and leaves a beginner like me lost. Course is better for someone who already has a background in coding and programming. Maybe Laurence has a couple of beginner courses he could recommend.
