    Yes it is possible to web design on your own.

    You can use softwares like Photoshop and Gimp for helping you with the design and you can take help of Google or some of the designers and coders here to help you out with the coding bit.

    All the best :)

    Hi,

    If you mean just designing? Then you can do this in photoshop or any art package.

    If you would like to develop the actual website, then you'll need to learn HTML.
    It might be easier for you to use a tool such as Dreamweaver which writes the code for you and also allows you to change it.

    yes, you can design your website if you know how to work with photoshop and coral draw.
    some editors are compulsory such as dreamweaver and edit plus.

    I suggest that you use Photoshop to create the design aspects of your site. There are a ton of tutorials so it shouldn't be that hard to get used to using it.
    For editing/constructing your code I suggest Notepad++.

    You may also want to try artisteer.

    This is an interesting point, how do you create a website using illustrator/photoshop and keep the file size down? Everytime I've created websites using photoshop because there are so many images and some big ones, the loading process is slow and generally unuseable. Is the best way to have lots of white space?

    Well worth learning to do this by yourself. Handcoding is relatively easy, but at this point WYSIWYG editors like Dreamweaver are good enough it's worth using them.

    You can easily do your own design, depending on whether or not you posses the skills. if not you would need to use photoshop, or other design tool to do the layout, then code the site with html/css.

    some recommend a html editor. but if your going to take the time to learn the editor and tools why not take a few extra hours and learn to do it yourself, opening many more doors.
