please am still a beginner in website designing.how can i go around it very quickly because i want to use it in my final year project.please help me because time is running out.thanks

Erm...I don't actually understand what you mean. If you mean how can you design a website then you need to learn HTML and CSS.

A website I used to like using was Tizag (http://www.tizag.com). It has some good, easy to read tutorials for beginners. You should aim to learn HTML followed by CSS - they are what is required for designing websites. You use the HTML to just 'outline' the content and how it should be displayed but you need CSS to actually 'style' the page and get it looking nice. I can't really explain more than this as I'm not sure how much you actually know already; so just read up on some tutorials. It took me about 2 months to learn HTML and CSS off-by-heart.

Of course once you understand how to design a website you will need to develop one. For this you will need HTML for any static content and then other languages such as PHP (PHP: Hypertext Processor) and MySQL (Structure Query Language/s) to add dynamic and/or interactive pages to a website. But this should only be attempted when you know HTML and CSS otherwise it's like teaching someone to run before they can walk.

Like I stated at the start, I'm not really sure what you are actually asking, but I hope this is at least partially helpful. Good luck with your project, if you need any more help I will try my best to assist.

Seriously? I've been using both for more than 7 years and I still don't have everything in css memorized. There are countless things you can do in css properties.


W3 Schools offers tutorials and live testable examples on nearly every web language available.

Start with a basic tutorial and see where you can get. Feel free to post back with any issues or problems you encounter.

I have to agree with William Wilson here, I have been building websites with HTML and CSS for about 8 years now and I still reference CSS.

Try Adobe Dreamwaver it has a designer's view. You'll know your mistakes right away (if you make one) and it also recongnizes your wrong codes etc. or make a website just for fun, you'll be amazed on how much you can learn. HTML is a very easy language shouldn't take more than a week to master

Aaah...another type. Sorry, I meant HTML took me 2 months to learn off-by-heart. I was just so used to writing HTML & CSS in my post.

No I'm in agreement with you, I still have to reference it from time to time apart from the basics and fundamentals. I wish it did only take 2 months to learn it.
