Have you decided that you want to learn how to design websites? That’s great – but the very next thing you’re probably going to wonder about is how you can go about doing just that.
Nowadays there are many different ways to learn web design, and numerous approaches and skillsets that are involved. While there is no single ‘best’ way to get started, these tips will help put you on the right track and le
t you learn more effectively:
- Start with the basics
While it may be tempting to immediately jump into a WYSIWYG editor (such as Dreamweaver or Photoshop) and start designing, it is often best to learn the basics first. Finding out more about HTML and CSS in particular will help you to understand how websites and web design work – even if you don’t go too in-depth when learning about it.
- Play to your strengths
After you have a decent understanding of the basics, you should continue by playing to your strengths. If you have experience in graphic design or other art then WYSIWYG editors might help to jumpstart your experience. On the other hand if you have experience with code then learning CSS, JS, and other languages associated with web design might be an easier starting point.
- Structure vs. free learning
The main decision you may have to make is whether to follow a structured web design course (paid or free), or simply research and learn from various resources as and when you need to. That is really a matter of preference, and it is solely up to you to decide which approach you’d prefer. If you like having a structure that you can follow then go with it, but if you prefer being able to learn what you need to by yourself then that’s fine too.
