Web Design Course
If you would like to design your own website and avoid the cost of hiring a professional web designer, you have a few different options. In this section, we will focus on taking a web design course.
A website design course will assist you in learning how to write your own HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) code, which is the language used to create a web page. And, although the code may be a bit intimidating when you first look at it, once you understand how it functions, it is actually a very simple language to understand and write.
There are several different ways in which you can take a web design course:
1. Pick up a website design book at your local bookstore – This option will provide you with a physical book to refer to which is nice in some ways. However, the information may be outdated and you will have to manually type in your code. This option is probably the most difficult.
2. Take a website design class at your local college – This option will provide you with physical assistance in learning how to design a website. You may receive books and will work on a computer to learn step by step how a website is created. You may also receive a certification. This will be the most expensive option and will require you to drive to your classes. However, you will receive assistance if needed.
3. Take an online web design course– This option will enable you to take a step by step web design course online. You may receive certification. This will most likely be the second most expensive option. It may be difficult to get any assistance if you have questions.
4.Purchase a web design course online that you can download and/or view online – This option will enable you to learn online at your own pace. You will most likely be able to copy and paste the HTML code you need. However, you will be completely on your own. This will most likely be the most inexpensive option.
No matter what web page design option you choose, it is still VERY important that you take some time to educate yourself and learn at least some basic HTML coding. However, there is no need for you to pay for it. There is a wealth of free information available on this website and all over the Internet.
Taking the time to learn the basics of HTML and how to make a web page will provide you with the ability to create and edit your own web pages and will be well worth your time and effort.
