Wow! I remember those old website designs. They look soooo bad now!! I remember taking an HTML course and literally, the weekend after I finished the course, I walked into a CompUSA (don't think they exist anymore) and as I browsed for something I needed, something caught my eye. Upon a closer look, it was the very first drag'n drop web design in a box! Yep! I felt discouraged as I knew in that moment that I had wasted my time and money learning to code knowing that I was staring at the wave of the future!

It’s not the “way of the future” 😂 most websites (especially the big websites) are custom coded. No code is just an easier option for people who can’t code. Custom coded websites are still far better

wow you got it so right, I'm from the Front Page, Dreamweaver, etc, etc days and boy......its soooo much easier now. I will check out more of your information, easy to digest and you have no idea how helpful.

I have a always wanted to learn Web Designing and finally decided to start. But I'm completely overwhelmed by where to start since there are a lot of software like Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator. I'm going to take your word for it and watch your site builder comparison video and choose the one I think is best suited for me and start learning it. Hopefully, I'll understand what to learn as I go through the process.

[@PaigeBrunton]

Fabulous you've decided to start ... andddd totally understand that it can feel overwhelming! Starting with the site comparison video is a great place to start ... anndd make sure to grab this free workbook too www.pbcourses.com/start-squarespace-site . It's easy to think you need a thousand & one softwares, but I ran my biz with just Squarespace & Canva - it can be that simple!) Oh & keep an eye on your emails at the beginning of January - I've got something perfect coming your way!!

[@vigneshmanickamux]

That workbook was an excellent place to start. Helping me through the process. Thanks!@@PaigeBrunton

Im a web designer and im using wordpress and i totally love it im doing it for 4 months

[@PaigeBrunton]

Thrilled for you! It's great when you find the platform that suits you - wishing you allll the best!

[@DrClausTechTips]

You mentioned finding a course to learn the platform. What are your thoughts on LinkedIn learning? Are these courses good for someone who has an account or would you recommend someplace else?

[@scum3112]

I know that you’re pushing for no-code, but you’re wrong. Coding offers way more flexibility and scalability. Just because YOU and a bunch of other people aren’t cut out for coding, doesn’t mean it’s not still the best option.

[@eustiantsev]

you have no clue that you talking about - as a designer you always have to imagine how it will be built or at least understand limitations of css =) no matter which technology used - modern or anything like wp (whatever else) you always draw the interfaces O.o

[@cookies2225]

As a teenager interested in becoming a web designer, I plan to attend college in the future, but I want to build the necessary skills to become a good designer overall. As you are experienced, what would you recommend I learn?

[@FeelinErie]

@@cookies2225 I'm a new Visual Designer (web design, branding, illustration) and I would suggest learning UX/UI Design principles, Figma (or Adobe Xd), Adobe Creative Suite, typography and colour theory, Responsive Design, prototyping skills, light animation skills eg Lottie, understand a little HTML & CSS - if you're collaborating with Web Developers, they will love you even more for understanding a part of their world, and pick a no-code website builder eg. Squarespace, Wix, Framer, Webflow, Wordpress :)
