Hi there! If you want to learn web design then you can go to the page where @raplhm has directed you. Other than that, you can also use Google as there are tons of tutorials about learning the basics of web design… Once you’re ready, I suggest you practice your newfound skill by using WordPress…:slight_smile:

A word of caution: be careful where you learn from. Be sure the source is recent and reputable. There are a lot of tutorials floating about giving out-dated or poor practices. It is a very easy trap for a beginner to fall into, to learn the wrong things from the wrong places without even realising it.
I see many noobs in the forums using 90s style code, for example: in-line styles and wonder, where did they learn this from? :frowning:

To really learn code, I would avoid CMS and frameworks, at least to begin with, and learn to create code yourself, to get a proper understanding of how the html and css works.
People too often take short cuts to creating a site, but miss out on a lot by doing so, and subsequently run in to difficulties when the need to know how to code themselves because they skipped over the fundamentals.

Welcome to the forums, @dennzz1001.

If using Google is working for you, that’s great. Two things I’d say though. Firstly, as @SamA74 has already mentioned, you need to ensure your source is both recent and reliable, so you don’t learn poor practices. The other thing is that I’d say a book or a structured online course is better for a complete beginner, because it will go through the basics in a logical order, ensuring each area is understood before expanding and building on that knowledge.

We see a lot of folk on the forums who have Googled for code and are trying to use it without having the basic understanding of how it works. Get a good, solid grounding first, and then try experimenting, would be my advice,
