Front-end developer and graphic designer. I love reading about newer trends, improvements to my workflow, front-end architecture and currently all things JS. I have a long way to go :)
I suggest you drop Elementor first. If you want a future in development and design, you want to know the fundamentals, not lock yourself into builders. Learn the languages!
Next, here are a few things to focus on (pick order and depth, but the more you work on, the better):
Design websites - come up ideas for new websites, tools, anything and design them from scratch. Look for inspiration.
Code your designs - after you are done, implement them. As detailed as you could. Always put them live somewhere for your portfolio.
Build something to sell - there are many marketplaces, you can make some money doing that, which is a good motivator on the long term.
Study fundamentals - programming concepts, data structures, code management and more. This always helps;
Work on open source project - be a contributor, create your own, be active in issues, PRs and more. There are ton to pick from
Find a job - I suggest doing a full-time job as soon as you finish school, not freelancing. Ideally in a team with good senior members to help you grow. When you start doing the same work for 2-3 months, ask for raise, new projects or find new job
I think this might help for the first few years :3
Hi, I am just a 15-year-old dropout and have always been into technology. I taught myself web development, I recently started making websites, it has been going really well and hope to continue this!
Thanks so much for your advice! I have been working on quite a few full html, css and JavaScript projects, and am planning on starting a coding course. I also am thinking about starting an eCommerce store. But for now, i will probably use Elementor until i can properly build a website fully out of coding, just because i need some source of income for now. Thanks for all your help :)
