Web designing

Jesse Vlasveld · 05-21-2007, 02:31 PM

Dear v7n,

I have been focussing on webdesign since around january now. I feel I have been progressing pretty fast.
Since January I have learned (not yet mastered) (x)html and css. I have the ability to create tableless websites with xhtml and css. And I am currently (but slowly) working on php and mySQL.
My graphic skills (photoshop, etc) need improvement. And I am willing to make time to improve. Creating websites has become a passion for me. I have just got a new assignment, it's the first one since a couple of weeks. I enjoy coming up with a new design. Pleasing someone with a nice job.

Many times I think of how I can improve my designing and coding. But I know the answer. It is simply to practise. The key is just to keep on practising, to keep on being busy with designing.

Since January I have learned alot. And v7n is one of the places at which I have learned, and got to know alot of people. Which I enjoy very much.

You'd think why I am posting this. There is no point. The only thing I want to say with this post is Thank you.

Thank you v7n, I hope I may learn alot more from you in the future.

Keep practicing

Practice is the only key of improvement and mastering.

Good luck

woohoo jesse - the best way to learn is to mess up and then figure out why.

Way to go!!! Are you doing this for fun or for business or both? If you start designing a website for a client, that will put a test to all your skills, not just in web design and coding. It also has a lot to do with understanding what the customer wants and what is the best solution to their problem. It is going to be challeng, yet fun!

BEST OF LUCK!!!!

I also have learned much reading the various forums here, one drawback is that I seem to be spending more and more time here rather than working !! oops.

If messing up and working out how to fix it is the best form of practice I must be the best designer/developer ever.
