Shall I use the Home Learning College to gain the skills I need to become a website designer?

January 21, 2010 - 9:58 pm 2 Comments

Hi there

Im think of becoming a website designer as I am an artist and creative. I also enjoy using computers so I feel this would be very good for me. I found the website Home Learning College who offer distance learning courses in this field and was thinking of doing what of there courses.

Has anyone used this company before and are they good? What was your experience?

Would appreciate any help

Thank you

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I did this course 4 years ago because I wanted to build my own web site. The help and support I received from my tutor was so encouraging that I passed every one of my course assignments with a distinction and also my final exam. I had no previous experience in this field and I found that the way the course was structured that I could study whilst looking after my new born baby. After completing the course I went on to set up my own Web Design company which means I’m a stay at home Mother and can enjoy all the benefits which working from home offers. I couldn’t think of a better way to learn about this subject than by doing so though the Home Learning College and really wish they also did a programming course.

Good Luck

Philippa

Do look at the the Open University offerings. They do not do graphic design but their webby and programming courses are first rate. Cheaper and genuine.

For graphic design, take some Adobe courses. Start with the free ones they offer on the web and go from there.

How much do website designers make?

January 2, 2010 - 12:53 am 4 Comments

Please only answer with legit statements/facts. Not dumb things like "lots of money".

Several factors answer your question.
Location, temp status or permanent, hourly or salary, experience, having a Computer Science Degree.

Looking at a permanent hire year salary
starting is anywhere from ($20,000 - $70,000)
10 years experience anywhere from ($50,000 - $140,000)

Yes it can be that wide a margin. A person with certifications and no college degree in a small-mid city with no big businesses would start out at $20k-$25k while someone in Boston or San Jose with a CS degree would be getting $50k-$70k a year.

Where do I find an affordable website designer?

Craiglist is of no help… Googling gets me nowhere :(

I’m looking for a website designer for my crafts and cards website but I’m having no luck!!

I even tried looking at website templates to buy but I don’t know flash but I know photoshop and html well.

My budget is pretty low, about $100… Any suggestions?

Thank you!
PS. I don’t want a blog look.

I can do your entire site for $100 (this is very low as the average site cost $600 - $3000) I can make it very professional and exactly how you want it!!! best part is I can create a custom template for you even make a simple logo or banner for your site as well. If you are interested email me at Christopher_Shep@yahoo.com

What are the biggest 5 questions people ask a website designer before hiring him or her?

November 13, 2009 - 8:43 am 2 Comments

If you were a small or medium sized business, what are the main 5 questions on your head before choosing a certain website designer?
Here is a bit more detail. :-)

1. The person is hiring a single person.

2. They are doing both, design and development.

3. They design a completely original website not from a template.

4. It depends on if the client wants an online store or not.

This really needs a little more clarification:

1. Are you hiring a single person, or a studio?

2. Are they designing the site only, are they developing only, or are they doing both?

3. Are they simply making a design for a template (will need minimal development)?

4. Are you doing e-commerce (selling things online)?

All of these will determine the core questions you should ask. I await your edits to your question : )

OK, a lot better knowing what’s going on.

1. You definitely need to see a portfolio, and since this person is both designing and developing, you need him to show you a couple of live sites that he has done. After the initial interview, click through those sites he did and make sure everything works and looks good. (Gonna use masculine voice when referring to the designer, it’s just easier. Don’t mean to offend).

2. Ask what his process is for doing sites–from initial brainstorming and sketches all the way to launch.

*follow-up with asking how long it takes to build a site like the one you want.

*follow-up the above question by asking how many projects he works on at one time (this will let you know how accessible he is, and how easy he can deal with unexpected problems, additions, or changes).

3. Ask what his policy on changes is. Every web site project (in my experience) has at LEAST one change. Usually designers will include " — rounds of changes" if they are charging you a fixed price and are experienced. Changes can be a BIG point of contention, so get it straight early.

4. Ask what his solution for managing the site post-launch is. Does he include a CMS (content management system) for you? Does he charge you his hourly rate to work on it? Does he charge you a reduced rate?

5. Ask why you should hire him over another designer or studio. (If the answer is ONLY that he is cheaper, be careful, this means he doesn’t feel like he specializes in anything).

General Tips:

-NEVER be the first one to name a price. If you offer low they will bump you up, if you offer high, they will not bump you down.

-Do not ask leading questions (questions that have an obvious right answer). You are setting yourself up to have him fudge on the truth. Make him talk a lot. A really good designer will answer most of your questions above before you ask them.

Hope this helps!

I want to become a website designer, where do I begin?

November 10, 2009 - 11:31 am 8 Comments

I want to become a website designer but I don’t know where to begin the learning process. I am fairly confident with a computer and am able to install and use software, browse the internet and produce simple web pages. I would appreciate a response especially from those who are already experienced in website design.

Thank you

there are many free ebooks and online refrences from which u can learn web designing

the three main things which u need to learn are HTML , CSS and basic Javascripting

http://www.w3schools.com/ is the best and most comprehensive site for learning them.

u can also search on Google for helps on particular topics.

for designing web pages u can use softwares like GSNotepad (really a good one to use). once u get familiar with designing u can use sophisticated softwares like HTMLPad (another good one) .

WYSIWYG editors (in which u directly design the output) like Dreamweaver and MSfrontpage should never be used.

ALL THE BEST!!
