I know next to nothing about wed design and coding, and it's high time I start because nowadays you can't get anywhere without being able to do web design. I followed a tutorial to make the website on photoshop which was all fine and dandy but when it came to coding it was a complete fail.
So that being said, I just wanted to know how you guys got started in learning how to code and such because I know there are a lot of coders out there on this forum, hopefully I can gain a few good insights from your stories, and maybe a few absolute beginner links would be helpful too. Thanks. |

Yes I would recommend going through all the html and css courses on w3schools.com. It may take a week. THEN and only then! You should go to simpler websites and figure out how they were made. Sites that people on cb have made.
Like Gabi's site, my old site that is bad need of a redesign, wefuze.com and mikeplyts.com. We all code the same way, because there arent that many ways to code. For a website though, I would give you this advice. Dont use tables, and don't use div with position absolute. |

There's nothing wrong with tables or divs set to position absolute. I mean, you shouldn't do a whole layout as a table, but they're good for organizing content. Plus, my whole site is coded with divs set to position absolute. Maybe pretentious code snobs find something wrong with them, but they work perfectly for me. If you believed my site was coded the same way as yours it obviously doesn't effect the way my site looks. |
