Learn to design web pages here - follow the HTML Tutorial and learn HTML! I have been designing sites for pleasure and business for about 8 years now and want to pass on my skills to you.
If you want to know the basics and learn HTML and how to design great websites, then you've come to the right place.
Highly skilled (and often highly paid) web designers, get a lot of respect from the other designers who are influenced or inspired by the talent and knowledge of HTML.
Designing and coding are two very different aspects of creating a webpage. You may have a page that is extremely functional and is coded very well, but looks bland or amateurish - and vice versa - you might have a great looking page where the HTML code doesn't work correctly.
The HTML tutorial is aimed at beginners to HTML and should teach you the basic tags, all the way up to creating a full scale site.
