I run a little design agency (www.beaver.digital) where I do all the design and coding. I didn't study design (or coding for that matter), but over the last year or two I went from novice to advanced pretty quick.

I don't know what the precise rules of thumb are, but I usually start by creating the layout + content in illustrator, which would be akin to making any other type of art. Once you have the illustrator file, writing the code is actually the easy part. It's taxing, but the creative work involved in creating the actual illustrator file is always much more difficult (at least for me).

To your point, I've thought about sharing the actual process in more detail if people expressed interest. I've had a few friends and family members ask, but maybe I'll drum up some lessons someday if I'm convinced anyone might watch them :)

I know this is 5 days late and a dollar short, but I'd absolutely watch lessons following this process.
