Hey there,

I'm Mahdi, 20 from Iran.

This is my journey to establish my web design brand.

I'm writing this journey because I figured out writing saves!

So I will try to write everyday.

Wish me luck ;)

Good luck! Web design has always been intriguing to me as a fellow programmer. How are you planning to establish your brand?

thanks for your energy guys,
yes I planed everything that crossed my mind am ready to face new problems...
I'm gonna start by learning to create creative landing pages then starting a website with a brand name domain do logo,banner stuff for that
and start promoting my website initially by posting on free job boards and cold pitching companies.
 
Update #1

yesterday:

  • i bought a domain (it's a little soon but domain was so good so i thought someone may buy it before me)
  • i created a logo for my brand (and recreated that)
  • i joined a web dev forum to ask pros there how to design my desired landing pages
  • i found some good youtube videos to get started with
  • i'm downloading adobe xd to do design stuff with
today:
  • i'm planning to watch at least 2 hours youtube video about web design.
nothing more that's enough for a starter i believe.
Wish me luck and motivation ;)

Update #2

yesterday:

  • i found a good channel (playlist) to follow
  • i downloaded one their videos
  • i watched half of video and made a sweet page :)
i could watch more video and do more stuff but i don't want to work so hard to get overwhelmed (like i used to)

today:
i'm gonna finish the video that i started and finish creating the desired website
i might start watching another tutorial or do other stuff idk...

Wish me pretty girls ;)

Update #3

yesterday:

  • i get a little tired and overwhelmed because this is nothing i like to do and i need to push myself every time
  • i watched about 30 minutes of youtube tutorial anyway.
  • nothing more... but i had better plans for tomorrow
today:
  • i'm gonna end the video i started (about 100 minutes)
  • maybe start a new video/tutorial
i know it's not that much but this 30 min/day work is still better than not working at all as a great guy says:
"if you can't fly, run. if you can't run,walk. if you cant walk, crawl. but whatever you wanna do make sure you go forward!"
Wish me less overwhelming moments <3

U dont need to learn web dev unless u want to work with big companies or custom projects.

Just start with wordpress nowadays most people want an ecommerce or a personal webpage and about 85% of the people asking for a custom project dont have the budget for it.

Thanks for you advice I will remember that.
But what I want to learn is to create this kind of landing pages for established sites:
https://amp-article.herokuapp.com
web design for average Joe is not my thing... I can't provide a service that don't extract my soul out of my body... :)
maybe later I add this service also, but this landing page idea is my starting point...

Thats a good example of why are u learning web dev and I am glad that u are pursuing web dev for things like that.

My suggestion would be to start trying to make a copycat of any webpage like that, build the bare bones with html + css then add animations with js and start to work in the backend, user authentication, etc.

Good luck u still have a long road ahead if u need help just contact me
