Congratulations. 2

2

You deserve it because you made it all the way 3

3

until the end of this course. 4

4

That's just amazing. 5

5

I am really proud of you, 6

6

and I want to thank you so much 7

7

for staying with me through all this course. 8

8

I really, really hope that you have learned a lot 9

9

from all of the lectures. 10

10

What I showed you in this course will 11

11

give you a strong foundation, 12

12

and you are now able to build beautiful websites 13

13

completely on your own. 14

14

Now, let me tell you this. 15

15

This may be the end of this course, 16

16

but it certainly isn't the end of your journey. 17

17

In fact, it is just the beginning. 18

18

There is still so much more fun stuff to learn. 19

19

Actually, I will be adding bonus lectures in the future 20

20

about topics that you, my students, 21

21

wish to learn more about. 22

22

So, if enough students want to learn 23

23

about a specific topic, I will be very happy 24

24

to add a bonus video about it. 25

25

So, let me know about that in the comment section 26

26

right of this video. 27

27

Now, once you're a web designer and developer, 28

28

one thing you will want to do is 29

29

to keep up with the web industry. 30

30

Things are in constant change, 31

31

and there are always new things to learn. 32

32

For instance, five years ago, no one even knew 33

33

responsive web design existed. 34

34

And today, you simply cannot build a non-responsive website. 35

35

So, the best thing you can do to keep up 36

36

with all the new best practices, 37

37

new tools and new resources is to read web design 38

38

and development blogs. 39

39

There are plenty of them on the internet, 40

40

and I put some of the ones I follow 41

41

in the course e-book. 42

42

Now, maybe you wonder what else you can do now 43

43

to practice your new skills, 44

44

and even start to earn some money. 45

45

Well, there are actually a lot of things you can do. 46

46

For instance, redesign existing websites 47

47

that you think are poorly designed. 48

48

If you know the owner of the website, 49

49

you can even show your redesign 50

50

and offer them your services. 51

51

You can also design a website for free 52

52

for a local charity or something like that. 53

53

Or, go to 99 Designs and join design contests. 54

54

You will make designs for different contests, 55

55

and if you win, you get the prize money. 56

56

And once you're more confident, 57

57

you can start to do some freelance work 58

58

on freelancing websites such as freelancer.com, 59

59

oDesk, or Elance. 60

60

You can find lots of stuff about these websites 61

61

in case you want to start doing this. 62

62

I would also love it if you'd stay here 63

63

in the course forums helping out others whenever you can, 64

64

and remain a valuable part of this community 65

65

we're building together here. 66

66

Even now that you've completed the course, 67

67

feel free to ask me any question you might have. 68

68

Now, let me give you one last piece of advice. 69

69

Practice, practice, practice your new skills. 70

70

Please never stop learning 71

71

and you will achieve more than you can imagine. 72

72

Dream big. 73

73

I wish you all the best for your new career, 74

74

and I genuinely hope that all those dreams 75

75

may come true.
