June 24, 200917 yr Hi all, My name is Steve and although im a time served decorator by trade i was layed off in February and with very little sign of the trade improving in the near future, i have decided on a change of career and learn about XHTML/CSS with a view to hopefully becoming a freelance website designer. I have purchased a copy of Learning Web Design by Jennifer Niederst to give me an introduction to the website design process and to help me with basics of learning about HTML/CSS. I have also downloaded the trial version of WeBuilder 2008 with a view to purchasing after the trial ends. Any further help/advice would be gratefully received. Kind Regards, -Steve

June 24, 200917 yr Welcome to the mad house. You can code good sites using only notepad or notepad++ so no need for you to buy software. Where are you based? Reaper
June 24, 200917 yr Yeah, get notepad++, atleast for now, keep costs low, although once you get a taste of it, you'll find it hard to switch I wish you the best of luck, and this is deffo the place to be
