So what would you use that is effective for web design?

Hiya, I would like to know how easy is to learn Dreamweaver, bearing in mind that I have no experience with it. I would appreciate if someone could provide me with easy steps on how to get started.

Hi Ben, When you say low salaries what range are you talking about?

Hi Ben, Thanks for your feedback. When I did web design back in 1997 I was actually in an office junior position but was shown and trained up doing very basic HTML coding which I really enjoyed - a lot of work went into creating this website but the company struggled and the site never actually went live unfortunately. Things have changed since then in terms of web development so rather than enter a new position in basic office administration (which quite frankly I've had enough of) I'm really looking to gain some sort of qualification and obviously a lot of commercial experience. It would be great if I were to find another company similar to the one I worked for back in 1997 where I go in and pick up experience whilst working, this would be superb. I'm even willing to work voluntary in order to gain the experience needed. After the course I'm looking to do a introductory course on flash which again sounds very interesting. I have no experience with flash but experience isn't required for this course. The video training course you mentioned sounds like something Computeach do but I've heard completely different experiences with Computech which has put me off. I'm much better off learning with others around rather than on my own. regards, Paul

Many thanks for your help. I think I'd prefer to study for a specific qualification as self-teaching myself is an option but may not best for me as I'm better around other people teaching the same thing rather than doing by myself. I last did a web design role back in 1997 and since then the web has changed so much I have noticed this by the introductory course that I'm doing now. If you know of any suitable courses that are specifically for web design or indeed graphics then please let me know. Thanks again.

I am currently looking to change my career from administration/sales support to more of a web design after being made redundant from my last role after 8 years service. I have recently started an introductory HTML/CSS course at Halesowen College with a view to taking this much further. I am thoroughly enjoying the course and very keen to gain some practical work experience in Web Design. I would like to hear how I can get into such a role after spending a lot of time away from it. Any ideas on courses, ideally courses where I can obtain a specific qualification would be very helpful indeed.
