Hi everyone, how are you guys?

This time I want to share a story about why I created a landing page for a startup called Zettasoft. Okay.. just go ahead.

Background Stories

Initially, I received an offer from Feri Lukmansyah as the founder of Zettasoft to create a website in the form of a landing page for the technology business. Such as, Data Scraping, Website Development, Mobile Development and UIUX Designer as the contents of this Zetta business section.

I'm here in charge of UI/UX Design. OK, let's see the steps...

The first stage

I did user research using the design sprint method. to determine the journey and goals to be achieved

Second Stage

I poured the idea that was in my head by doing a rough drawing or called Wireframe/Lo-Fi Design.

Third phase

After making a rough outline. I then created a Design Style namely Text Style, Color Pattern and Button Style.

Fourth Stage

Next I made a separate UI Design to do a test called A/B Testing.

Last Stage

At the end is the UI Design stage, after doing A/B Testing. It has been determined which design to use in each part, starting from the Header, Service, Service Details.

Okay… I have finished the step-by-step description of the Landing Page design process for the Agency that I shared. Hopefully helpful, and thank you.

In this article, You will learn how to easily become a Web Designer without coding. How to?

The answer is with Webflow. why? Webflow is basically a web design tool that is easy to use for beginners because it doesn’t require any coding skills.

In addition, Webflow also offers hosting and content management system (CMS) services.

In a way, Webflow is quite similar to WordPress.

Why choose Webflow?

However, its main focus is design, although it comes with other features.

Launching the Webflow blog, this tool is part of the no code movement, namely technologies that make it easy to create software and the like without code.

However, Webflow actually still operates with code.

It’s just that, it has a visual or interface that is easier to use.

You just need to drag and drop with this tool, and the code will be automatically written by Webflow.

Very easy, right?

Why Webflow is better than Wordpress

This tool is for anyone, especially designers, marketers, and small businesses.

With Webflow, you can easily create landing pages, responsive websites, e-commerce sites, blogs, and more.

Then, you can directly manage the content with the CMS system that is already available.

Webflow Features

As previously mentioned, apart from web designing, Webflow is a tool that also offers web hosting and CMS services.

Well, here’s a little further explanation of the three features that you can take advantage of.

1. Site designer
Site designer is the main feature of Webflow.

With the site designer, you can choose to create your site from a completely blank canvas or start from an existing structure.

So, there is a choice of templates that you can set according to your needs.

In the Webflow library, there are 30 free templates and 100 premium templates that only paid users can access.

According to Satori Studio, it’s better to start with a blank canvas instead of a template for those who already have a little understanding of HTML and CSS.

This method also allows you to more quickly understand the tools in Webflow.

2. Content management system (CMS)
CMS Webflow allows you to create various types of content, such as blog posts and others.

Here, there are already many plugins that you can use, so there is no need to download additional plugins.

In fact, Webflow is considered more complete and flexible than CMS WordPress, Wix and Drupal.

From Webflow, you can freely manage blog content, add and edit pages, and much more effortlessly.

3. Web hosting
If the site’s appearance and content are ready, Webflow ensures that your site can be accessed with its hosting features.

With the deployment menu, you can release a site with a webflow.com subdomain or a custom domain if you pay.

Webflow hosting uses one of the largest cloud service providers in the world, namely Amazon Cloudfront and Fastly.

So, don’t worry about experiencing website crashes or other obstacles when your site has a lot of visitors.

In addition, Webflow already has a content delivery network that you can use at no additional cost.

With this content delivery network, your site can be accessed faster no matter where your site visitors are from.

Conclusion

No need to worry about security, because Webflow is equipped with secure sockets layer (SSL) which has modern security technology.

Well, that’s the summary of Webflow.

Are you interested in moving from Wordpress to webflow?

thank you so much, bye bye.

Hi guys. we will continue part 2 of Web Design with Sass Framework. before, if you don’t know what Sass is, and how did it start? Just check my previous article history.

This time we will create content from card content, we will create 2 content cards. let’s just make and code now…

• Above is my code example. you can change the price, words, and color with what you want.
• Then we add the css in main.scss to make it more perfect and beautiful.

Here I created the main class, namely the master card. then make the first and second classes are basic cards and most cards. why make a master card? because I’m here to keep it simple and just call so it’s not full to make styles for each card model.

• And finally we will make the button style to make it more beautiful and appropriate. you can change the words, colors and radius models according to you.

Wow, that’s a great button.

OK, We’re done with the Sass web design project. see you in the next tutorial.. byee byee….

The following is the result of our entire Sass Code.

• And the results in the browser:

Hi, how are you guys? I wish you well…, this time I’m sharing a tutorial about one of the most popular frameworks for CSS.

You have to prepare some Extensions:
- Sass
- Live Sass Compiler
- Live Server

• Live Sass Compiler functions to make css & map.css files easily also interconnected.
• Live Server is useful for making live code previews, code changes easily and quickly.

Okay, the first step you have to create a folder containing the folder:
- Images
- Style
the two folders that you created in your project folder, are useful for storing asset slicing and CSS compiler files from Sass.

• Next, open your project folder in visual studio code. and create a file index.html

For the title name can be adjusted as you like.

• Create a main.scss file in the “style” folder and enable watch sass in the bottom menu bar

• then the files in the “style” folder will increase to three automatically.

• Continue to connect main.css in index.html. but remember! you must turn on the “Watch Sass” and enter your styling code in main.scss NOT in main.css.

Use the script bundle in bootstrap v5.x inside the body tag section.

• After that enter the bootstrap CSS bundle above your CSS file link.

• After it’s ready. let’s just look for the font you want to use from any size type. here I use the Poppins font, sizes 300, 400, 500, and 600.

Enter css rules fonts into main.scss

• Then we continue to focus on making the navbar.
• Use navbar from bootstrap components, enter it in the <body> tag, then edit it according to your use.

In the navbar of my example I replaced and removed some parts of the class and tags.

• After navbar.html finished. You enter main.scss to edit and improve the appearance of the navbar.

Customize your favorite color, shape, and distance!

• Then you create a header section content. here I will show you mine, you can follow it or replace it with what you want.

• let’s beautify the appearance of the header by using Scss.

Above is the image display of the navbar and header from the code that I made. You can use any word and color you like.

Okay! You have successfully created a beautiful navbar and header using Sass. you can see the CSS results in main.css, how simple and easy it is for us to use Sass for display settings.

We will continue the tutorial by making a price list in the card content section in Part 2. See U guys!!!

Hello, How are you guys? I hope you’re okay..

Okay this time, I will make a tutorial about online wedding invitations using Wordpress.

• First you have to provide:
  1. Xampp : Download XAMPP (apachefriends.org)

Install whichever version is suitable on your laptop or computer. I’m using the PHP version 7.4, after finished download and install on your device.

2. Wordpress : Download | WordPress.org

• Just click the download button. then extract the file, navigate to the C:\xampp\htdocs folder directory using Winrar or the like. and extract.

• The following above is an example of a folder after extracting.
• Then activate xampp in 2 parts: Apache (* for localhost) and MySql (* for Database). and then the quick way is, open it directly in the browser by clicking admin on apche and mysql

and in the browser:

• Before that, have to create a new database in mysql. then click the Wordpress folder on localhost.
• Then it looks like this:

• Click the Let’s go button!
• Then it looks like this:

• Rename the database that you created earlier. and delete only 3 parts. yes it is: Database Name, Username (*mysql if any), Password (*Mysql if any).
• Click submit and Run the Installation
• Then you will be asked to fill in the data that will be used in the WP-Admin Dashboard

• If you have just “Install Wordpress”
• and Log In with the User and pass that was previously created.

• Here is an example of a dashboard page from wp-admin

• Then go to the appearance -> Themes, find and install the theme with the name “Astra”.

• Go to appearance -> astra options -> install import plugin. select build with Elementor, then import the theme with the name “wedding invitation”.
• Edit and adjust your needs as well as your creativity.

Don’t forget to see your edits by site view!!

Your version of the online wedding invitation is complete. and publish it to your hosting. see you in the next tutorial.. byee byee

Hi Everybody! After previously learning about looping with “for”, then this time you will enter into a discussion about looping with “while”.

Did you understand the functioning of “for” loop? if not, you must study it again before you begin with “while” loop.

Okay, let’s just continue learning the Python program!

• First, you create a variable for the number of books and their contents that you want. My example is like this:

book_count = 10
print(‘Mom say, “Read all your books” ‘)

• Second, you create a variable number of books that have been read

number_of_books_read = 0
print(f’number of books read {number_of_books_read} ‘)

If so, it will look like this in the form of the order of the code:

• After that you enter the core code yes it is looping with “while”. The code is like this:

while number_of_books_read < book_count:
number_of_books_read = number_of_books_read + 1
print(f”book to {number_of_books_read} already read. “)

• Lastly, we add the result of the description “number of books read”.

print(f’number of books read {number_of_books_read} ‘)

• If everything is written, then the result of the code arrangement will be like this:

• Then we RUN in PowerShell or something similar.

• If the result is as above then Congratulations! You have successfully created a “while” loop program using Python.

Your lesson on “Python Programs for Beginners is over.” Look forward to the continuation of his other articles. Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone, previously we have studied the Python program about branching. Now let’s get into the discussion of the “for” loop. What is a “for” loop? Let’s get started.

• First, you create a “new file” with the name “For.py”

Then type the code like this:

book_count = 10

print(‘Mom said,”Read all your books”’)

You create the first variable and the contents of that variable.

• Create a second variable:

number_of_books_that_already_read = 0

print(f’Number of books read {number_of_books_that_already_read} ’)

Then when the two variables have been written in order, the result is like this:

• Next, we make a “for” loop. By writing like this:

for number_of_books_that_already_read in range(1, book_count + 1):

print(f”Books to {number_of_books_that_already_read} already read “)

• Finally, we get the final result by writing:

print(f’Number of books read {number_of_books_that_already_read} ‘)

• When we “Run” then we get the following result:

Note: In Python programs, the arithmetic calculations are given space for each calculation. For example “for number_of_books_that_already_read in range(1, book_count + 1)”.

And now you have completed the “for” loop tutorial. Thank you for reading. Look forward to the next tutorial. See you later.

Hi Everyone!! This time we will enter the stage of learning programming using Python 3. If you are not familiar with “how to install Python 3 on Windows”. please read and see the steps on my article page.

Okay everyone, let’s start by learning about “Branching”.

• First you have to be ready right:
  - Properly installed (successful) Python.
  - Visual Studio (VSC) or PyCharm code.
  - Install Python Extension -> “Python” and “Pylance”.

• After installing the Extension. Immediately you create a new file with the name “Branching.py”. Like the example below:

• Then fill it with Code which starts by passing the variable.

total_bottle_milk = 175

egg_number = 145

After that do:

print(f”amount of milk is {total_bottle_milk} bottles”)

print(f”number of eggs is {egg_number} eggs”)

• Then you give a branch by writing:

if total_bottle_milk > 0:

print(“Budi checked the price, and found that he had enough money”)

if egg_number == 0:

print(“Buddy bought 1 bottle of milk”)

else:

print(“Buddy bought 6 bottles of milk”)

else:

print(“Budi doesn’t want to buy a milk bottle”)

• Follow the Structure like the example below:

• Then we write the last code:

print(“Buddy go home”)

print(“Send the result to Mother”)

• Then put together your Coding make sure it becomes like this:

• Then click Run. Then the Result:

Yeay … you have successfully created a simple project with a Python program. If you still have an error in your coding Code, then you have to see and research it again slowly.

Note that this is like a simple case Storyline, between Mother and Child. Which is where his son is a programmer who must be instructed in detail and regularly. Wkwk…

Okay guys, you’ve finished Part 1. You can continue with the next tutorial. see you guys…

Hi everybody!! introduce my name is Aditya Fiqri Firdaus. This is my first article. Here I will discuss about “Installing Python 3 on Windows.”. First, what is a Python program?

Python is an interpreted, high-level general purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python’s design philosophy emphasizes code readability with significant use of whitespace. Its language construction and object-oriented approach aims to help programmers write clear and logical code for small and large scale projects.

Okay, after getting to know a little about Python, let’s do the python 3 installation. Following are the installation steps:

1. Go to the python website at https://www.python.org/downloads,
select the desired version. Here I installed Python 3.9.7

then after download. You can install it directly, by:
- Double click Python.exe -> open.
- You can choose by selecting “Install now” or “Custom installation”.

• Wait for the installation process.

• After the process is complete. it will read “Setup was successful”
• You can directly “Close” or click the “X” button in the upper right corner.

Then you can check the python installation by:
search for “CMD” then type “Python”. And the results will appear, then your installation was successful.

Yeayy.. You have Successfully installed Python 3 on your Laptop or Computer. That’s all from me, I hope it’s useful. See u Next Time, Guys.
