Hi - for my nephew does enyone have experience of the best Web Design courses. This is for someone who starts at a basic level so wants a qualification to help with employment. Online learning in their own time ideally. Is CIW still the way to go? Thanks.
You can start with "game-like" courses. There's plenty online, but most of them are paid. However, bitdegree often has promotions and if you manage to snag a course for free you can keep it. They have a course on web design here: Interactive Coding for Beginners: What is CSS, HTML & Web Development
Nice suggestion Viddel, It is free and they may offer scholarship in the future with this course as well. I have studied from an institution ofcourse but at the very beginning when my interest shift towards the web design field for the first time, i start searching good tutorials on YouTube. These tutorials had helped me understand better about what i am getting in to. It is easy to remember a process when someone shows you how it is done rater then you study it on text. Also you learn from your mistakes a s well. i remember that i have to hire a professional website RevGlue when i make a major mistake with my website design and had no clue how to fix this mistake. I still get help from them for my affiliate CMS design from revglue(.)com/bespoke also there is a website Alison's web development which is not only offering free course online for web design but also offering diploma as well. There are others which you can check online like Learnlayout, Codeschool and the newboston website.
I find CodeSchool really useful for beginners. I got my start there without the need for formal education.
