Activity 1: Responsive Site Q&A

We will start by looking at some of your Responsive Site Projects and discussing them, content, issues and things that will prepare you to move to Eleventy.

Activity 2: Eleventy

We are going to continue with our Eleventy Sample Site and learn more about how Eleventy works. This week we will get more into Eleventy Templates and look at how they work. We also learn more about how you can add what is called “passthrough” files which is how your own CSS and images get added.
