[DEVELOPMENT] Explain please

[crypto-boy]

Hi all,

I am php, mysql, js developer.

Also I learnt a bit photoshop and illustrator. I know HTML5 and CSS.

But I have a problem: when I starting full-stack development (e.g. full app with design) I can't make it good looking 

I have not any problems with coding (i like it) and with UI/UX (i can do prototype of interface) but I can't make the design because I don't understand in which steps it is should be done.

As I understand:

1. I should make UX/UI prototype

2. Find UI kit (premade buttons, rows, inputs, icons etc.) or hire a designer to do it.

3. Make HTML/CSS version of my my UX/UI with designed elements?

Is it correct? All skilled developers working in this way or...?

I can't draw but I very want to make not just coding but also designs...

Thanks.

You hire a graphics artist and give them your specs.

You should know that full stack developer work is consist of front end and back end only . Web design is on the other side and is not included on it. As I see, your steps to create a full app is correct, there is no problem at all in the flow. The thing is, you need to practice your designing skills. Start to practice drawing. Then look and check on other people's work for references. Last will be to integrate your development skill to your design.

IMHO, you should focus on development not on designing because it is your forte after all. Team up with a designer if you want to create a full app.

When people are making professional app, there are always working graphics designers and coders.

If you can't draw and want to become designer, than there are many websites, where you can learn a lot and become professional photoshoper.
If your project is serious, than I recommend you to hire profeesional graphics designer which has experience in making apps design.
