Just recently I have learned CSS and HTML and have become fairly fluent in it. I have SAMS Teach Yourself HTML and CSS in 24 Hours and another book from the school I currently go to. What would be the next stepping stone to learning web design? I've also went through the W3C schools tutorial!

 

Thanks,

Hello,

It's time to start to apply your knowledge into practise. Create, say, your own homepage.

I actually have created multiple small pages, but nothing too in depth. So just keep playing around and see what I can do?

Create for the sake of creating. see if there is anyone out there looking for a site (charity, voluntary organisation etc) and offer them to do it for your portfolio and knowledge.

Very good idea. If you also want to continue your learning then start learning other languages too. Javascript (client side) PHP and MySQL (server side) there are more but these are some of the most widely used languages.

 

Create HTML and CSS pages and make sure they are W3C compliant etc there are sites that will be able to check your coding for any errors.

I found that converting photoshop mockups to valid xhtml/css was a huge help to me. Do a google search, there are tons of tutorials out there. Even better, make your own photoshop mockup and convert that.
