I need web design help? I want to learn how?

Question

I don't know what I'm looking for. I just went to a book store and they have lots of books on web design but I don't know what book to get. how did you learn? what books should i read? please help I don't know where to start

I know about www.w3schools.com

Answer 1

There's this book called 'Head First with HTML, CSS & XHTML' or something like that. I have it. It's great and you can get it at Barnes and Nobles.

Answer 2

i read (not completely finished) a book called

Build Your Own ASP.NET Website Using C# & VB.NET

If you know some programming (not even that much), you should be able to get a website up and running using this book.  The nice thing about ASP.NET is that you have a drag and drop toolbox and don't have to hand-code everything.  All of the downloads necessary are free (although it probably took me about 4 hours to download and configure everything).  Also, you get to work server side, which opens more possibilities.

Answer 3

The first thing you should learn is HTML and CSS...try to get to grips with html and then learn how to use css with it.

That's it. Just by knowing those two languages you can earn a living doing freelance web design.

you may also need to learn some photoshop skills as well.

message me if you need anymore help :)

Answer 4

get this book: Head First: HTML with XHTML and CSS. it is really a good book and it is easy to read.

Answer 5

If you don't have a problem downloading programs to do it there is a good program called "Adobe Dreamweaver". Just one small problem though. It costns $300. However, there is a free program almost exactly like this called "Nvu" (pronounced "N-view"). I have tried it and would recomend it if you want to design a professional looking website.
