Is it still relevant to learn layout?

Question

Layout

Is it possible today to have a small part-time job on the layout of one-pagers?

And if so, which is better to use? Bootstrap or implement everything through flexbox, css grid and js? They advised me to learn bootstrap, but I noticed that in RuNet there are very few competent lessons where a website is laid out on bootstrap. Even on Habré there was an article with errors in the code.

Answer 1

Yes, you can. There are not enough good typesetters, no one wants to get to work and work normally.
Better learn to type without frameworks, based on flexbox. It makes sense to learn only the grid from Bootstrap, as it sometimes helps, but usually it is not needed or not needed much.

Is it still relevant to learn layout?

Yes, it's even more important to make the layout correctly, semantically, adaptively, componentially and not out of the blue in terms of further increasing the size of the project.

Is it possible today to have a small part-time job on the layout of one-pagers?

Most likely not, judging by my experience - one-liners are needed to launch a business as soon as possible (will it break in or not), or sell some seasonal product, for such things (and they are very rarely supported) targeting ads are used, they are not promoted by SEO, and they can be easily made by hand on the designer in 2 hours.
If we are talking about layout as work in an enterprise, look at any project of a large organization, apple, microsoft, google - “layout” is everywhere, no matter if it is a website, a SPA application, or designing a program for currency conversion, which is not about design.

And if so, which is better to use? Bootstrap or implement everything through flexbox, css grid and js?

As a rule, Bootstap is needed - when you throw a standard 12-column design on a 12-column bootstrap grid system, if your designer decided to surprise himself and you, and made the design of the future, there are already grids and pure flexes.

Nonsense.

Even on Habré there was an article with errors in the code.

In layout, you can layout in different ways, you can layout the same landing page using - float, flex, grid, and scatter content in 10 different ways, and this will not be something bad.
It is considered bad if you - take some kind of input that you have on 10 pages of the site - and write styles each time on a new one, since the pages are different (that is, you do not use the component approach and dry principles), for this you need to immediately kick in the neck.

So bootstrap is just one of the tools that a coder just needs to know, because it is the most common. If you still have experience in UAYkit, foundation and bulma - this is generally beautiful. Write them in your portfolio as technologies, and when a certain client searches for a performer, indicating them with tags, you will be on the list. And not those that are "just tsss."
ZYZH I have such an awesome client on a prop flew to the tag "job boards" - and threw a cloud of projects.

Learning is relevant, but after mastering the layout, you need to develop further. The competition is wildest. Look at freelancers what number of applications comes to all these landings. Even in vacancies, ordinary typesetters are not needed by anyone now. It is desirable to have some kind of JavaScript base + be able to work with some of the frameworks like Vue, React. You can also start trying to pull the layout on engines (Wordpress, Modx, etc.) - it will be easier to find a job. You can also master cool stray things like canvas, experiment with different animations... In short, the main thing is not to get stuck at the html, css, jquery level.

You can even have a good job at layout.
Better to use common sense. If possible, grid, but also flexbox and js. I do not advise you to use bootstrap in your work, you can study no more. There are very few lessons because a sane coder will not make a site on the bootstrap of his own free will. Well, yes, on Habré, only senior layout designers are sitting.

If you still draw them and come up with content, then the norms.
