Hey Hi
I am just a beginner, I have little knowledge with "Html" en "css" , also visuel basic.
My goal is to make 2000 to 3000 euro monthly netto
The time I am willing to spend is 1:30 to 2 hours everyday after school , or atleast 6 times a week, then during vacation 6 hours a day, if nessecary I will be willing to do spend even 8-10 hours. during vacation.

My question is: Is it good if I start designing website on Noteeepad ++, since It will teach you how the code works and everything.

Or Is it beter if I just start with Dreamweeaver or wordpreess coz I don't know, If I have enough Time to reach My goal in time since notepad ++ take a lot more Time to learn than word preeeess and Dreamweeaver.

If you are telling me don't rush. Wel I have My own personel reason to reach My goal in time.
Money that I have in bank is 3000 euro, I am willing to risk 2500, My goal is to make 2000 to 3000 euro monthly netto.

By the Way I have already downloaded Dreamwaver and noteepad ++ both and I have also registered to hostgator and already bought a Domain name.
 
My plan is to make a website about martial arts, bruce lee and many other things..... then may be I can do some advertisement about, martial arts equipment, like " nun-chaku" "boxing glof".
 
In my view, it 's worth it to learn html/css/js from scratch. It will pay off in the future if you get into this. If you want it as a one-off thing, go with Dreamweaver etc.


Try webstorm. It has a 30day trial and if you like it, I 'm sure you 'll find a way to extend it ;)
 
better to start with dreamweaver as it helps you to auto-complete certain tags.
 
Dreamweaver is too bulky for what it does.

Notepad++ is great, but I prefer NetBeans.

Cheers!
 
I would use Dreamweaver to get started, so you can observe the behavior of the code and then move to one of the suggested editors to do your own code.
 
If you are a begginer, go with Dreamviewer.
I started out with Dreamviewer, and when i learned all the codes (HTML), switched to Notepad++ ofcourse.
Dreamviewer, is kind of messy for me now, too many things on it.
 
First of all, you should focus on one aspect before moving onto another. Becoming a web designer is more than just writing it in notepad. It involves following tutorials. Its easier if you just outsource web design services to india.

Absolutely agree with technajn, dreamweaver is to messy. But i suggest you to using notepad for learning. For me, i'm using dreamweaver to speed up my works.
 
If you need a well designed pro looking site, use wordpress
If you need to learn along the way and dont have a quick finishing date for you site, use notepad++
 
I think you should look into sublime text. Its beautiful.!
 
Sublime all the way if you can afford it. It's amazing what you can do with it and the plethora of plugins.
 
Use notepad++ I have never used dreamweaver and never had a need for it css and html are extremely easy.
 
use notepad++ or Sublime start from scratch head over to youtube there are tons of video ... for your php need -> i watch phpacademy and derekbanas .... sign up -> dirbbble and behance .... to stay updated .... currently flat design is in trend .... its simple ... but you need sense of which colors go well together ... hope this helps :)
 
If you're learning from scratch i suggest you go with WYSIWYG Web builder. A wonderful tool for beginners. Also better off you go with Dreamweaver than wordpress or notepad++ . The reason is that you can add or edit in GUI and see the code be created itself right before you. This way you can even learn more what you won't be able to get with notepad++
 
If I were you, I'd learn Dreamweaver first - that's pretty much the "cat's meow" of web design programs. Plus, if you know Dreamweaver, you'll be able to figure out Notepad++ much more easily as it's significantly more straightforward. That being said, if you don't know ANY coding at all, I'd start with the very basics - learn HTML, learn CSS, then learn about JavaScript/jQuery and PHP and how they all work together.
