dangerut Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Hey guys, im just starting out and have purchased dreamweaver cs5 and photoshop, i want to create really good websites but im not sure what path to take.. and what programs to use.. Some one told me to start off doing websites in notepad and stay away from dreamweaver,(true?) also what steps should i take now? read some books on html? basically i want to know how did you guys start off? im only young and im choosing webdesign as a career path. Any help/advise would be fantastic Jordan Quote
dangerut Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Also should i be using any templates? or do i just make my own from scratch? i mean is using a template a bad idea? thanks Quote
Andrea Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Start out with the basics - HTML and CSS. You can use Dreamweaver, but use the code feature, so you can learn what's behind all the hoopla. Nothing wrong with using templates as long as they are well-designed and coded, and once you figured out the essentials, you'll be able to tell what's good and what's code-garbage.
