Hello Everyone!

I am a previously qualified web designer ( as well as graphics and video ) from University, but haven't touched a website since I left Uni 10 years ago.

I'm now looking to bring my education up to date myself and get back into website design for myself.

 

I have previously worked with HTML, Dreamweaver, a Little bit of Flash and Wordpress. However I have been left behind somewhat!

 

Its great to find a forum like this, where we can all exchange and share experiences to learn from each other.

 

I'll post in the relevant section for the help I require.

 

Hope to speak to you all soon!

Louis

Hi, welcome to the forum.

 

It's changed a huge amount now. JavaScript has taken over; Flash and Dreamweaver are all but a distant memory. WordPress is still around, but definitely not the best way to build websites and certainly not for applications, UI's are responsive, gone are static width websites.

 

Typically web design and web development are too different things now. Web design typically only focuses on design due to things being far more complex it's very rare to find those that design and develop to a professional standard, they do exist but expect a long and very uphill battle if you intend to learn the full stack + design and keep up with the rapid changes.

 

I'd advise you start again from scratch and use a learning resource such as codeSchool or Team Treehouse, pick an area to focus on when you have an understanding of the basics of modern web development.
