Hi,

 

I am wanting to learn freelance work so that i can design my own layouts etc.

 

Most the layouts i have used (pre designed for me) have a default .css file and then the index page.

 

What i am wondering is does anyone have any links to tutorials as to where i can start designing my own designs and also what is needed to do these.

 

Thanks in advance

Do you mean you want to learn web design? Wanting to learn freelance work doesn't really make sense... freelance work is done by someone who is self employed; so you don't need to 'learn' how to work for yourself. You need to learn web design so you can work for yourself.

 

Lynda.com is my main source for structured courses on things like HTML, CSS, the entire Adobe Creative Suite, Javascript etc., but you can find an almost infinite number of tutorials if you just search Google.

I would also add a few sites for you rss feed. Smashing magazine would be one, check out the SM network for other tuts, like frost says above Lynda is a good resource, Google will be your knight in shining armour many times, maybe relsease some design/get inlolved in the Open Source community and dont be worried if you cant get someit first time. Make you you adhere to best practises too, if you learn correctly it will save you a lifetime of pain
