If you are new to web design I would definitely recommend a classroom based course to start as  a beginner. That way you have someone to ask questions to. I myself have read numerous books on topics before taking an in classroom course. Ways of learning change from person to person. What ever you feel most comfortable with and feel you learn better from would be the best route for you to go.

I think the first thing you need to do is determine what you are trying to accomplish with your website. After that, build it using either Dreamweaver or FrontPage. Then, when you are ready to put it online, get a hosting company. I recommened http://www.hostingmyweb.com . As a matter of fact, they actually provide you with a bunch of templates to use as well. All you need to do enter the message on each page. Otherwise, if you are trying to learn how to program website, http://www.w3schools.com/ has all of the tutorials you need.

No problem: you can get a lot of the stuff you need to know for free!\n\nC/C++ are great languages to start with. Here's a nice C++ tutorial:\n\nhttp://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/htm/ch01.htm\n\nHowever, if you are into web design, start off with Java.\n\nhttp://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

I used W3Schools also. Their examples are very easy to use. Make sure to view the source code whenever you see a site you like the look of online, and take a look at the CSS file too. You'll learn more just by looking at other sites, and then practice on your own trying to figure out how to get different looks. Of course, if you have any specific questions, you can always ask us here on Yahoo! Answers.

Factor in the following:\n\n1) Time it will take for you to listen to your clients and making sure they get exactly what they want.\n2) Equipment.\n3) Electricity (seriously)\n4) Internet Bill.\n5) Third Party Assistance. \n6) Expenses you have to pay to get their site up and running. Including the domain name, fonts, stock images, and scripts (if you have to purchase them) and scanning in images.\n\nOnce you written all this down, then give them a number that makes sense. If you are doing a simple web design job, keep it below $400. The more complex the job and longer it takes, the more expensive it will be. If you add more people to get it done, then you'll have to factor in payment for them as well.\n\nFinally, make sure it's a livable amount. Too low and you'll be fighting for scraps. Also, give a firm answer. Be flexible and don't show fear. The moment you show fear, you'll lose or they might try to low ball you. \n\nHopefully, that will help you out.

Absolutely, yes. At the time, I was right in the middle of our University's site redesign, and literally learning CSS one rule at a time as I was going along. I actually never intended to enter any of my designs to the Garden; even though it was still in its infancy, it already featured such high quality entries that I felt my meagre attempts would be quite inadequate. As CSS was fast becoming the most popular topic in the web design area over at Sitepoint's forum (were I was a moderator at the time), we decided to run our own 'garden-like' competition. I was involved in the contest's organisation, and developed two example designs: the default Sitepoint style, and the slightly more elaborate 'Gothic'. \n\nImagine my surprise when, out of the blue, Dave Shea emailed me to ask if I'd like to rework 'Gothic' as an entry to the Zen Garden. It was this initial vote of confidence that pretty much took the 'fear' of the Garden from me and spurred me on to explore a variety of new techniques and styles, pushing my knowledge of CSS further than the constraints and boundaries of my large Salford redesign would have allowed. \n\nCertainly working on 'door to my garden' (which seems to be my most successful entry, even managing an appearance in Dave and Molly's book 'The Zen of CSS Design' - see the sample chapter at creativepro.com) has provided me with a very strong grounding on the various issues involving the use of background images and cross browser alternatives, and probably represents my most 'finished' piece of work in terms of striking a good balance between visual design and clean, simple stylesheet usage. \n\nFor completeness' sake, it may also be worth mentioning that I have two more entries which unfortunately did not quite make it into the 'official' list: phonephreak in the 'conceptual designs' category, an admittedly unreadable design that mimics a double page spread magazine layout, and an advanced version of 'door to my garden' under 'special effects', which uses some :hover trickery in browsers that support it, yet degrades gracefully in those that don't.

Learn simple web design using free tools, make a site displaying your talents, then approach local businesses that have poor web presences.  And you owe me 5%.

Web Design is a very broad subject. It is very much worth learning as a skill to have but in order to be of value in the industry you need to learn a fair bit. \n\nConsider the page design and layout just one part of it. You will need to think about what coding langauges you wish to learn, HTML, PHP etc. \n\nIf you want to create scripts to automate things then you may need to learn Perl, ASP. \n\nIt is very rewarding to create a site and get it functioning correctly on your own accord so even if it's going to be a hobby I would say yes, give it a go.\n\nThe 'for dummies' books are great to get started.

Well.. If you mean a school in werever you live then good luck because they're all long term, but if you just want to learn web design I recomend getting books at the library. What you should learn-\nIf you just want to make page designs, with no special functions such as login scripts- HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, Photoshop (thats a pro graphics program),  and that's it.\nIf you plan on making things more than the actual design like login scripts, and forums then you'll need to learn this-\nPHP, MySQL, .ASP, Flash (very expensive about $800.00 but not completely needed), and I think ADO.\nIf you want to do a little bit of both then study a little bit of both. If you need to learn faster, and can't go to the library, or buy books then i'd go to http://www.w3schools.com and http://www.htmlgoodies.com i dont recomend learning PHP from either of those places, but PHP is I think the most important for interactive Object Oriented Programing (OOP) so learn it.\nHope this helps. Have fun.

For a beginner, you did a great job! I really like your layout. Congratulations! :)\n\nMy suggestion is that just read tutorials on the net and in time, you'll be able to make much more improved websites. Also try to add interesting & unique content on your site and dont forget to promote it too. :)

There is free course you can take on-line through Sony.  It teaches the basics of building a website.  The best thing is it is free and it is on-line to do when you want.  It isn't very long just a couple of lessons with a few pages of reading and it is great information.  I took the course and really enjoyed it.  You can access it at:   http://www.sony101.com\n\nIf you go to that website there will be four categories of courses.  Click on all courses under the category "Personal Computing", a list of course is on the next page and it is about the third option on the list.  Click "enroll" and that is all.  If you haven't registered for any classes before you will then be asked to register.  It doesn't cost anything to register either and you only need to answer a few simple questions (name, create password, etc.)\n\nHope I could help.  Good luck!

A little information is a dangerous thing. You might learn just enough from a website to make you dangerous, at least dangerous to yourself. A little knowledge will only give you a false sense of security that will only get you hurt or killed. Find a competent instructor and take the time and effort to really become proficient. Your life has to be worth more than free online lessons or the price of a book or DVD.
