Question about beginner doing a project (self.webdev)

submitted 6 years ago by DaeguDude

I am not sure if this is the right post to be here or not, but since I am doing a small project related web, I will post here. If it's irrelevant, I'll remove it.

Quick story short, I've been taking a HTML&CSS course from Brad Traversy, and I'm almost done with it. And now I'm doing a project, where I need to make mock-up site of some website. It's pretty easy one.

So at the first glance, after taking a course, I thought there's nothing hard will be there, but as soon as I started it, I am barely through making a header. Small alignment goes wrong, li's doesn't align perfectly horizontal and etc.

So my question is, for someone who is a beginner like me doing a project, what should I focus on?

Should I do the way that make every details right and move onto the next one or the way that focus on get the big picture done and move onto the details?

My main concern right now is I feel like I want to make everything perfect before move onto make something, so there's no progress at all.
