You've come to the right website to learn web design- no previous experience is required! Only seven simple tutorials and a total beginner will be designing websites quickly.
NOTE: If you are looking to HIRE a web designer or web design firm, you can request a no obligation web design quote.
WHO THIS WEB SITE IS FOR
How-to-build-websites.com is designed for total beginners and people who use programs like Dreamweaver, FrontPage, or other wysiwyg programs (wysiwyg stands for: "What You See Is What You Get") and now want to learn what's going on 'behind the scenes'.
To really understand web design, you need to learn HTML hand-coding; it's easier than you think!
WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN HTML
Tools like Dreamweaver are great, especially if you are building old-style web sites based on tables, sliced images, et cetera. But if you want to be able to build what I call 4th generation websites, then these tools will get in the way of you learning and will actually slow you down!
Learning to build your web sites using HTML will give you far better control over the process and ultimately your web sites. You will have a far deeper understanding of the web, and as a result you will create better web sites quicker - much quicker.
WHAT'S ON THIS WEB SITE
This web site is made up of 8 modules - seven are instructional and contain both articles and tutorials where module 8 wraps things up with a few tid-bits.
Here is the list of lessons:
* Basic web concepts
* Building a web page
* Building a web site
* Introduction to CSS
* CSS tutorial
* Advanced HTML
* Introduction to JavaScript / Programming
* Misc. topics related to web design
