Thanks Nitos!
This was definitely one of the most in depth layout tutorials I’ve written.

Why pay when you can learn it for free?
Design comes first, then you’d have to do the coding anyway in order to get the looks you’re after.
Simple and wonderful design..thanks for sharing this wonderful design…
love your share and many thanks
