#1 figma.com is free
Use figma, it’s free, and amazing for this kind of development. All things are now in cloud app, you can lose the files on computer and not screw yourself over.
Figma allows for digital sharing, multiplayer usage, and worth your time. It helped me avoid needing photoshop for this kind of basic work.

Example of header being built based on someone else’s cool design i was inspired by on dev.to
Be willing to make edits if it embeds poorly…
Testing what the embed looks like is a best practice.
#4 design footer so it looks legit, like you care
Okay maybe you don’t care, let us not show this in our content, and that means let us get organized, yea?
Copy paste it over and over, and because dev.to is all code, you’re pasting code. Terrific.
