learn web design freeHow to learn web design for free?

I'd like to learn web design from home. Is there any software that I can download that teaches how to design a web site.
Hi,

To learn web design, first you have to learn HTML. HTML is very easy to learn. Just type some code (tags in HTML terms) in windows notepad & here you are..the most basic of your website is created. After that you can learn CSS for adding presentation i.e. colors,fonts etc to the HTML. & the interesting thing is that you will also write CSS in windows notepad. Then you can learn Javascript for adding functionality. After that you can move to advance level of web designing.

So, the software to create & design a website is Windows Notepad.
(You have some image editing software as such a Adobe Photoshop or try free downloadable GIMP)

I suggest you to use Adobe Dreamweaver as it will be very much easy for you to design your website.

Also, there are lots of website for learning HTML/CSS & Javascript in the internet. learn web design freeSo feel free to search from the internet.

Also, you can purchase the following books for the reference.





Best of luck :)
I want to invite everybody to web design portal and social network with Every day tutorials about creating web sites: www.golearnweb.com There you can find answer to your question! Cheers and enjoy! :-)

To be honest with you I think the best way to learn is the "stream of conscious" approach.

Open a notepad and save it as "index.html" (You will have to change the file format to all types.)

Now go to Google and begin.

For starters I would recommend using tables. They are not always the best approach to making a website but it is a good way to start.

Search google for "table html" research find out how <table>, <th>, <tr>, and <td> fit into coding and the importance of the closing tag </td>, </tr>, etc. work.


Build a balearn web design freesic website structure. From there do keyword searches for what you want to do. For example if you want to add a CSS style sheet to do all of your visual enhancements, search CSS in html on google.



Google has a lot of the basic, intermediate, and even some advanced web site creation content.

If that absolutely doesn't work. Some of the websites that I use as a reference are:

- basic web programming

- hexi decimal color codes

- a quick listing of many common html tags.



Some people can also figure out how web design works by trying to modify a completed project.

You can download free templates at and then start trying to modify it. This is a very fun way to learn as well.
Have a look through these websites on learning web design for free:
Search youtube for "HTML" there you can find videos that will help you.
Notepad and W3schools.com

Doesn't get any freer than that.
