IMO there is nothing online that will teach you how to design.
its a long path of evolution. I was lucky enough that was working with 3 great designers in the magazine so they showed me the path. If you can work with somebody better - even few hours a week. just to get a concept and design rules it would be the best. get a free work experience programme. the concept of great design its not in the psd 2 html 2 WP but to make a simple and intuitive design. In that way you will keep the visitor in your site. Get a design experience - with constant feedback. How to properly use fonts, colours, alignments is the key for a certain reaction of a user.
coding part is the easy part because you already know how the website looks like and you will know how you want it to behave.

in one sentence:
Read a bit just about graphic design and get a proper designer to check your work and give you some feedback.
Coding Part you can do it yourself

It's better to read few books about HTML,CSS and javas.. After that you can take a course which is called learn jquery in 30 days. I personally don't like video tutorials, it's better to read a book for me

Does anyone know of a good Youtube series of web designing lessons. Something that I can learn slow but have strong results.

Hi Grinch;

Youtube is the best way to learn web designing, on youtube you will found lots of resources but it will better if you follow the user's named "createthenet" web design tutorials. He had uploaded good web design tutorial.

If you can collect the video tutorial of lynda then you will be able to understand those easily. Otherwise you can collect some books and read them throughly and practice regularly this would give you much better solution.

definitely get a book in basic html and css. then go on to lynda, build from there. but plan on spending at least 2 full weeks going at it, nothing but that. also get a course thats called: css newb to ***** by the guys at nettuts, pretty good. you can always use dreamweaver, and drag and drop stuff...

I subscribe to lynda.com and tutsplus.com but I'm sure if you look around on YouTube you can find something useful.

Why do you go to youtube first rather you should visit the web sites that are related to these topics. Try to get some theoretical knowledge before you start doing it practically.

I have began viewing many topics on YT first, and viewing and listening to the audio-visuals, even in their short 3~4 minutes form, has sufficiently given me much knowledge and also risen much interest in the topics, and then further going on in learning from those "theoretical" sites. .

So, IMO, it's a matter of taste of the true learner, and whatever way he/she chooses to get inside the topic... nothing is better than what fires up his knowledge and imagination in the right direction!

There are some very good site which can help you become somewhat expert on any web design or programming course you want to master of but the problem with most of those sites is that there courses are surprisingly very expensive & even though many people wants to learn those,very few actually able to enroll to those courses due to high cost.

I have looked at a few of their trainings, and they are indeed very professional and informative. As far as I know, the owner and founder of lynda.com created the whole service because she herself learned everything by doing herself and finding information, and wanted to provide a service where there one of the best of each field would share their knowledge to others.

Yes there are these sites, but there are also free and good (and legit) resources available. Here also helps if you can ask more specific questions (from Google, using the information already available, not necessarily from others) while trying things yourself.
