1 Online Tutorials

The internet is brimming with free tutorials that can help you learn web design. Start by exploring basic HTML and CSS, the building blocks of web pages. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) structures your content, while CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) styles it. Use online platforms to find step-by-step guides that teach you how to create your first webpage. As you progress, delve into JavaScript to add interactivity. Remember, practice is key, so apply what you learn by coding your own projects.

There are so many free and freemium resources available to learn web design and development now that I don't think you could cover all of them in a single article. Start by doing a quick Google search (or Bing, if you're into that kind of thing) and look for top sites to learn web design for free. You'll start to see a number of options from Codecademy and software development forums to YouTube videos that hash out quick tutorials on web design for beginners. As a web designer, you'll be spending a lot of time online doing research, and trust me when I say that looking for online tutorials to help you design, build, or troubleshoot is going to be part of your everyday life.

2 eBooks and Blogs

A wealth of knowledge can be found in the pages of eBooks and on industry blogs. Many experienced designers share their expertise through these mediums, often at no cost. Look for eBooks covering web design fundamentals, user experience (UX), and user interface (UI) design principles. Follow blogs to stay updated with the latest trends and best practices. Reading regularly will not only teach you design concepts but also keep you informed about the ever-evolving web design landscape.

3 Community Learning

Joining web design communities can be an invaluable way to learn. These communities are full of people just like you, looking to improve their skills and share knowledge. Participate in forums, attend local meetups, or join online groups. Engaging with peers allows you to ask questions, get feedback on your work, and learn from others' experiences. Sometimes, community members even offer free workshops or mentorship opportunities.

If you want to learn something about web design (or anything at all, really), don't be afraid to jump online and ask a question - whether it's Google, Bing, or ChatGPT. Also, since you're interested in being in the web design and development space you should get more comfortable with popular forums like Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, and even the web design spaces on Quora and Reddit.

4 Open Source Tools

Utilize open source tools to practice web design without financial investment. Open source software is freely available and often comes with a community of users and developers. Tools like code editors, graphic design programs, and content management systems (CMS) like WordPress are essential for web design. By using these tools, you not only save money but also join a community where you can learn from others and contribute yourself.

Learning through open source code is one of the best ways to understand how a program does what and is how I started learning. Personally I never got around learning code by heart, I wanted examples, case studies and built apps to further understand and learn to code and develop.

5 Personal Projects

Creating personal projects is a hands-on way to learn and showcase your web design skills. Start by building simple websites and gradually take on more complex designs as your skills improve. Personal projects allow you to experiment with different styles and technologies, which is crucial for understanding the practical aspects of web design. Plus, these projects can serve as part of your portfolio, demonstrating your capabilities to potential employers or clients.

Look into open studies courses at your local college or polytechnic. Where I work, you can take a first semester web development course of a 2 year program without applying to the program. It will cost you a couple hundred but gives you so much foundational knowledge and best practices. If you decide you like it and passed, you can then take 2 more open studies courses to bypass entrance requirements like high school marks. If you don't like the college environment it at least gave you an introduction to all the web terms and how to build a site with HTML and CSS. Plus you can use the tuition as a tax credit.
