    HI,
    I am interested in being able to make templates. So, could you tell me what i need to know in order to make templates . do i need to know html or css or php or asp?? I dont know anyone of them. But i would like to learn. Till now i have only used front page's wysiwyg editor , but now i would like to take it to the next level and do it with coding. Ultimately I would like to be able to do some freelancing making templates and designing banners .
    So, what do i need to know??What do i need to learn??

    bye,
    faraz

    Start with html, and quickly move on to css. PHP and asp, aren't really necessary for plain template designing.

    Well, it isn't necessary but it helps. (BTW, You can also use Fireworks. )

    Basically what you use those programs for are creating the images that would go into a site, and to create a mock up of the site before you begin coding.

    Creating a mockup gives you a chance to look at what the site would be when it was finished and think of the best way to layout the code.
