Hello ladies!
I am currently thinking of breaking away from my agency as an independent. Just hired a photographer, and about to subscribe to a very awesome site builder's services for a few months for my first website. I love her design, but I feel extremely limited by the layout options that are offered by her and numerous other web designers. I would want the ability to customize my site for my purposes... Thus, I am extremely interested in building my own website myself. My community college offers a Web Design course that uses Dreamweaver, and I am thinking about starting with that.
How do I learn to build webpages? What are the steps I need to take in learning web design? How practical is it to set a goal to build my first in 6 months or less?
I have a basic knowledge of HTML, and could use with a refresher in CSS. But I feel this is as simple as getting a good desk reference. I don't understand the difference between using Joomla or WP. Would I need to use either if I chose to use Dreamweaver software (I'm thinking no)? I know that I need to find a host, and this is where I start feeling lost... Also, what should I be aware of with building/hosting a "adult" website?
Some of you seem extremely tech savvy. I am hoping you can direct me as I research this.
Peace and Love,
Jacquelyn
PS- This would be a great personal business that I can take on the road. I am willing to invest in this skill set.
