That's a great question, because over the last couple of years we went from a place where you really needed to hire somebody to be able to build a website and now every software tries to say how you don't need to hire a web designer to build your website. If you want to sell your services, you need to show what you offer that's different and more professional. Paid advertising is certainly one way to do it, but you need to have a game plan going into that. If you can, try creating videos and posting them to YouTube to help your chances of getting found and making your work being seen.

Staff Answer

Graphic design is more visually focused, and mainly deals visual communication through tools such as imagery, visual composition, and typography. Web design involves using a combination of markup, stylesheet, and programming languages to build attractive and functional websites.

Question

Is there any qualification needed for web designing?

Community Answer

Yes and No. Yes because many would say you need a degree to get your foot in the door for a job. And if you want it you should have basic programming an graphic skills, so a degree in Information Technology or Software Engineering or just an evening class in Web Design is good. And no because if you have the drive to teach yourself you can. There are many free websites that can teach you.

You make a web page with basic HTML and XML scripting. You make short films using a camera. You can purchase a camera at any retail store nearby.

Question

Can I start learning web design as a kid?

Community Answer

Yes! This is a great idea. You just need to commit to putting in the time and effort necessary to become proficient. Learn how to use github; contributing to open-source is a great thing. Don't just go through the theories -- this is something you need to practice on your own.
