Go to:
Use the navigation at left to view lessons.

I would recommend getting an HTML editor, if you don't already have one, so you don't have to do the coding yourself.
www.vtc.com is the way to go - 30$ per month onlive tutorials :)
also check out the website: www.code3design.com

I've been a web designer and coder for 12+ years (http://sizefactory.com)
I'd recommend learning writing basic html and css to start with, learn the building blocks then go out and use more advanced tools, but cover the basics. Check the http://www.w3schools.com/ site, it's amazing. Good luck

There are a good few WYSIWYG html editors availabout nowadays. You may wanna try CoffeeCup software. They're pretty easy for pick up and go.

Un bel sito di web desig in italia è: http://www.ggservice.com/web-design.asp

Learn some effective web design rules here http://www.thevisionforest.com/2011/07/effective-web-designing-ten-rules/

Basically web designer should have knowledge of html, css, photoshop, flash

You can use "w3schools" for html and css.

For design, it's depend on your creativity. you can search different site on web.

I must agree with some friends web design is all about HTML. I must prefer you an online web design service you must check this this out.

Hi
You want to try NetObjects Fusion. Version 9 is a free download or available as a PC magazine givaway and it is very easy to learn. As you add pages to your web site the navigation buttons are put in automatically. The program has many web page templates and there are a lot more free ones on their site. You will find it in Computer Magazine CDs, Computer Shopper was doing it last month.

Its the easiest web making program I have seen for years; give it a try.

Hi Hatty

I too was new to webdesign and I purchased a package from http://www.XSitePro.com.au

It's PERFECT if you want to learn website - not much more I can say really!

Quote:

The concept behind XSitePro (XSite Pro) is very basic. The team behind XSitePro needed to create a software application that would allow users ranging from complete novices to seasoned professionals to create decent looking websites, quickly and easily. There was a clear gap in the market for an intuitative, almost 'clever' website design application. And boy did they create something good.

XSitePro (XSite Pro) offers an extremely well put together video training course when you first buy the software. This is crucial for those of us on the Internet who do not know how to design websites. It guides you through everything you will need to know and it is all explained simply and effectively. For the more experienced web designers out there, or for those who have a basic understanding of website design, the video tutorial can be skipped and replayed at another time. However, we recommend that the XSitePro video tutorial is a must for anyone using new software.

Another important thing to remember when considering whether to purchase XSitePro, is that aside from learning a new trade, you will never have to pay a web designer a cent ever again. It's so refreshing to produce your own websites, both quickly and easily, and to see them live - it's a rweb designewarding experience.

There are many websites that give directions on writing HTML code.

One of the best sites is

You can use Notepad to write your own HTML Code and view your results in IE or Firefox.
It takes longer than a code generating program but you can really learn how to correct your mistakes in syntax and setup.
There are several program used when doing web design. I will assume that by web design you mean designing and creating(programing) the sites.
Below is a list of video tutorials that will help you on your way.
As for what course, well, i'm afraid i can't help you on that one apart from, look at what courses are available and consider what one you would like to do the most. These vids should help you figure out wither you like designing or programing the best, making it a little bit easier for you to decide.

It depends to you, for me best way is watching video tutorials (like lynda.com) however w3schools.com is very useful. But I think you should take a few courses (like web design, graphic design...) in a good college. As soon as you'll learn the basic, the rest is very easy...

Good luck
