There crap but get you started...

Im sure some on people on the site have better though..
I can do all the infrastructure but my design skills are as good as my dancing in a night club (you don't want to know)

First, you work hardf at school and get good grades, then go to college for a couple of years and onto university, a lot of natural talent will also help, good luck! Thumbs Up

I agree Colin, you can pretty much learn how to do everything from home with a computer these days... most degrees mean f'all anyway!

I've told him to go for it, you never know unless you try. I actually think he will be really good at it.

Not for that one Glyn, already got one for that which came with the business. This is for another one we have started.

Yes your kind of right shaun. But there are other ways of going about getting jobs. For example; if i showed the talent of being able to create a good website from what i have pretty much taught myself with the help of tutorials and am able to create further websites without the tutorials, then im sure a buisness would be interested in taking me on.

It's a completely over-saturated market, you'd have more success trying to get in on the freezer sales market in Antartica.

I'm pretty sure my degree in Computer Science helped me get into the IT job market. Wink

As for webdesign ... self taught in HTML/CSS/PHP/Ruby/Perl/SQL/Javascript, however I did spend 3 years at uni learning to code in Java and C++ (amongst others) first.

I'm a fairly competent programmer, yet I still class myself amongst the more crappy webdesigners out there. It's not just a case of being able to do it, it's being able to do it with flair and style.

Plus, you'll just get pissed off and punch the keyboard. Laughing

Something else im not going to live down now Rolling Eyes

Well even if i never make it up to standards i can say i have tried. I've spoke to a webdesigner (you know who you are) and they taught themselves.

I have nothing to lose by trying

JP

p.s. - keyboards are for wimps, the floorboards rock Laughing

p.p.s. - What was i using when i bodged a homepage Jon ? i have completely forgot. I seem to remember using coffee cup to upload, but not 100% as my computer blew up shortly after i seem to remember

I'm self taught. I'm just saying it's harder than it looks, will take a LOT of your time if you're going to learn it properly and have no prior experience in programming (like 4 hours a night for a few months at least), and even once you've learnt everything if you have no natural artistic flair you'll only turn out sub-average websites. The latter is the bit I struggle with Wink

If you want to have a go though don't let anybody stop you.

And you were using WordPress for your blog.
