Getting into Web Design

[Guest61835]

So currently I'm taking an online Udemy course. It's the complete WordPress Buisness course. It's pretty good so far. Not finished but I'm going to feel lazy for asking this but, is there any wisdom to be shared about website design that I may need to know? Usually I don't like to ask simple shortcut sounding questions like this but I'm just curious is all. I've got a decent plan. Finish course, build websites, freelance website creation for clients and sell them too. And then create my own website for experience and maybeto find which industry is needed I could add value in. That's the jist of it

I started with a Udemy course as well, but now being a more experience developer in general. I would say to skip the wordpress version of it. If you really want to get into web development. You need to learn the basics of HTML, CSS, Javscript, and a backend language of your choice. PHP is always good, and easy to learn. You might try NodeJS as well though.


Wordpress is so easy and so many people are doing it though, you won't find much value to add.

Check out Twitter Bootstrap. They have a ton of pre-built HTML, CSS, and Javscript elements that make coding a good looking website easier. But try to find a course on the basics first. If you like I can forward you to the one that I took a couple years back? The person who made it probably has new better courses along the same line.

You are in for a rough ride. Web design is oversaturated at the moment and the only real way to make money fast is to get involved in a network or word of mouth.
