I recreated Apple iCloud in two hours!

I've always love the Apple iClouds web design, it looks so clean and modern, so I decided I'm gonna try recreate the home page in one day. I've spent two hours and this is where I'm up to so far: https://apple.thebloodylegend.com

I built it using WordPress Elementor, I first did the main elements, and will soon brush up everything I missed, like the padding in between the images, some of the images themselves etc.

I plan on continuing and recreating a basic version of the rest of the website, can't wait to see how this goes!

Free Web-Development

Hi, how are you?

I'm 15 years old and have always been into technology, and one thing that I've always took a strong interest in, was Web Design & Development. I have created multiple websites in the past, I use WordPress, and also use HTML, CSS and even sometimes JavaScript with it. Until recently, all the websites I created were just for fun, but I wanted to turn it into a business and made my own website: https://echocreations.co.uk
After that I got three jobs, but since than I haven't really gotten any more clients. So I was looking for ways to improve and decided I want to create a few low cost or free websites just so I can add them to my portfolio, and hopefully that will attract clients.

If you send your web design ideas to info@echocreations.co.uk, if its something I can do, I'd happily give it a go, as I am looking for a bit more experience, feedback and to build up my portfolio.

Can't wait to hear from ya'all!

Advice for new web designers

Hi, how are you? I'm 15 years old and have always been into technology. Web design & development is something that's always interested me, and I have always messed around with it creating multiple html, CSS and JavaScript projects. I recently started using WordPress and made my first website for a relative, after that I got a few more bookings, and now I have five websites for my portfolio. I was wondering, as a beginner, if any of you had any advice for a beginner starting out with web design & development. How do you get inspiration for the design and UI of a website? How did you find your first clients? I'm open for any advice you can share! 😏

For my websites, I use WordPress, Elementor, I also often add some coding to my websites just to spice things up and to do things you can't usually do with Elementor.

Here is my website if you want to check it out: https://echocreations.co.uk
Although the mobile view still isn't finished as I have been too busy with my first few clients websites.

Thanks so much!
