Title: Web Design
Post by: Boner on Thursday, May 2, 2013, 14:43:38
I am looking to start doing some web design at home for personal use to start with.  Anyone know what is the best software to use and where I can buy it at the best price,  I already have HTML and Frontpage experience but that was a few years ago now so looking to get up to speed with the new stuff

thanks

Why do you need software? Just go with one of the CMS platforms (Wordpress is a good place to start) and a text editor for editing the theme. Main skills nowadays for web design are CSS (for theming) and PHP (for modding).

You might want to have a look at some freeware called Joomla. Very easy to use.
