What software do you need to become a web designer?

question about web design

Hi,

A common question I get is:

What software do you need to become a web designer?

This is actually a good question, because you’d figure with all the web design programs that you see out there, that you’d have to shell out a lot of cash to get going. Ah … it would seem grasshoppers … but do not be deceived!

… You don’t need to buy any software to build websites – that is one of the beauties of web design.

Are you sure Stef? I thought you needed to buy something like Dreamweaver or Web Expression to build websites?

No. Web design programs like Dreamweaver CAN speed up the process but so can being smart about how you build websites. In fact, my beginners course on web design teaches you how to build websites using free software that you already have.
