I always looked up to good and famous designers/authors as if they had the answers to all design problems. However, eventually I found out that design is not about the answers, it's about asking the right questions, and even these great designers are, in the end, only humans. There's no correct way or formula on how to do things or solve problems, it's about choosing a path and trusting you're doing what is best for each problem you're faced with.
This book would not have been possible without the support of my lovely girlfriend Mrcia Gaudncio. Thank you for all your help and patience, and for all the meals you cooked and chores you've done that should've been my responsibility, while I was busy with my laptop for hours on end.
I'd also like to thank Rebecca You for offering me the chance of writing my first book, as well as the Packt Publishing team and reviewers for their great work in reviewing and helping out over and over again.
Last but (definitely) not least, I'd like to thank my father, Antnio Redondo Pratas, and my mother, Leopoldina Correia for giving me all they could ever give me, making me everything that I am today, and teaching me all that I know and do. You can't find these things in any book. Obrigado!
Eddy Borja has witnessed the evolution of websites from their static Web 1.0 beginnings to the modern designs that we have now, throughout his life. His first exposure to web design and development began during his teenage years, and he has been involved in the creation of web and mobile apps ever since. He has been a consultant for many startups and a co-founder of a software development shop that builds mobile apps for its clients.
As always, I'd like to thank my parents and my family for their never-ending support, and my love, Karla Salazar, for her support and encouragement.

I would like to thank my girlfriend and Merengue (my dog) for waiting for me while I was helping the author review this book.

Flat design is a digital style of design that has been one of the biggest trends in recent years in web and user interface design. It is famous for its extremely minimalistic style. It has appeared at a time when skeuomorphic, a style of creating realistic interfaces, was considered to be the biggest and most famous trend, making this a really rough and extreme transition for both users and designers.
Creating Flat Design Websites will explain the story of flat design since its early roots to the present day, while also showing you some of the most famous examples and explaining how to design and implement your own flat design website in a practical and easy way.
