With the development of so many programming, style, and markup languages, learning web design is becoming more complicated than ever. Fortunately, there are tons of tools available to help you get started.
- Start a Website
You don’t have to start with a massive website or crazy design; start small. Play with the website, figure out what makes things work. (And make sure to inspect the code, so you can start getting familiar with what’s making your website work.)
- Read Everything You Can
Read everything you can about website design, and trends, and techniques, and best practices. Follow designers you admire on social media. Read about the basics to learn some code, read about design theory and read tutorials and current articles.
- Be An Effective Communicator
Website designers have to communicate with clients regularly to figure out what problem the design needs to solve; they have to communicate those solutions and implement them as well.
- Think in HTML
HTML is the skeleton that helps create the structure of a website and once you can read the language, the world of website design will make a lot more sense.
- Pay Attention to Websites You Love
Take note of websites that you love. Pay attention to:
- Typography
- Navigation
- Use of images and space
- Design of forms
- Animation and scroll effects
- Color.
