So forget about art schools or a bachelor's diploma in graphic design. You don't need one if you want to create a website with an exceptional lay-out.
You can build an aesthetically-pleasing website by learning how to use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other website design tools like Dreamweaver, PaintShop Pro, or FrontPage. And you don't need to go to a university in order to be an expert in webs design.
You can bag those necessary design skills by taking classes for web design or reading books. Note that these special classes, unlike getting a bachelor's degree, won't take you four to five years of rigorous study. Your best options are only a few mouse clicks away and in a few days time you'll get them done, like those online classes and free online tutorials available on the Internet. Other alternatives would be in-person classes and workshops and books for reference.
Paid online classes provide complete training provided by professional web designers and they usually offer a Certificate once you have finished the course. These classes involve interactive learning – you get guidance, constructive criticism, and creative inspiration from both instructors and classmates. Some online classes might send you instructional materials like books and manuals via snail mail as additional resources for your online study.
If you're not up to spending bucks, free online tutorials can also give you thorough lessons about website design, but they're more on independent learning. With free tutorials, you've got to do things your own way – you have to read through and understand the simple step-by-step instructions and try out stuff on your own to check if you got things right. Some online tutorials have forums where users can post comments or questions about the lessons.
If you learn better being taught by an instructor in person, you can enroll in offline or in-person classes. Ask your friends and other contacts if they know of a good web design class. You may also check your yellow pages or the Internet for listings of actual schools that offer special classes.
I also suggest that you grab a web design book from the nearest bookstore so you'll have a hard-copy reference. Online or not, a good book is an informational material that you can trust and can bring anywhere - whether you're sitting beside your office window or sipping cappuccino at your favorite coffee shop.
With these learning options all available any time at your convenience, you can start making website lay-outs a few days after enrolling in special classes or reading that book. And if you want to go further beyond the basics of web design, you might want to learn more about online marketing, link-building, and search engine optimization – also by reading books and taking in-person or online classes. These areas of website development will surely work hand-in-hand with your great physical lay-out in order to increase traffic to your site.
