Dear fellow DP, It is my pleasure to write you.I want to learn web designer online and i dont know where to look for the resources to do so.Please help out.In this time of reccession,i think someone has to acquire demanding skill.I believe nothing is too difficult to know/learn.with very hard work ,the sky will be my starting point. I hope to reading from very soon. Thanks.
Ive learn HTML / PHP from this website : tizag.com, Ive stated there from scratch, No previous knowledge, I just followed all the example.
Learn how to make web layouts in photoshop and how to slice them first. You have ton of tutorials of it on various sites. You'll need a lot of creativity and hard work to master this. After that go to w3schools to learn HTML and CSS. Again, you'll need hard work to master it, but forums and google are best friends when it comes to that. Anyway, I wish you good luck with your designs and can't wait to see some of your work soon .
start with learning how to code properly, there are loads of tutorials online (x)html to start, then style with CSS, javascript then move onto a scripting language such as PHP or ASP.net, w3schools is a good one. Most of all learn how to semantically code i.e not using tables for layout and for web accessiblity.
Nice idea "ajibona" and best of luck, here are few of the links which may be helpful. You can design PSD and Convert it in to DIV based layout, "sixrevisions.com", webdesignfromscratch.com, net.tutsplus.com and http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ for more website design material you can search my bookmarks online at delicious just search my name jagadisht
Try to learn as much as you can from DP itself as it has some very resourceful posts. if you keep on reading some threads from DP, then you will leran more.. Also as said above W3Schools is the best place to start.. if you are looking for PHP, then go to php.net!
I want to make you think to be sure of one thing - web designer or web developer or both. To be a web designer, you need to have better performance mainly in graphics like adobe photo shop.
I learned how to make static sites in html and css for ten years. If you want to learn code, you can do that with the sites listed above. If you just want to make sites and not have to learn code, learn Joomla or even Wordpress. You will have a better return for the time spent if you learn Joomla. Learn xhtml, .css ( cascading style sheets ) and a little .php to learn how to make templates for Joomla. Start here : LINK
