No matter what the web design program used, HTML seems pretty essential. I know the basic basic codes but I’d like to go beyond the basics.

Hey I’m doing pretty well. I’ve just made another site. Look at it, aren’t the shadows so cute?? I put them in a table to make everything faster, otherwize I suggest you guys do this in CSS (it’s so powerful). The site is about misspelled auctions on eBay. You won’t believe how many sellers misspell some most important words.
DuraKan just one advice: don’t rely your design on tables use css instead and you’ll get many benefits. Css is not too hard and it lets you to separate content and design. Once you want to change the looks of the website you just change the css file and images.
I’ve recently redesigned a website for Softlakecity Outsourcing and with css I’ve made different looks when you print the pages (the menu is being removed).
Let me know guys if you have any questions about all this and please do comment my design :-)
Worth doing!
I think I know just about all the HTML there is, and not just that, but I can remember most of the good practice guidelines as well. Besides, it’s so easy that if I ever forget it I’ll just re-learn it. I have found w3schools’ HTML tutorial to be the most useful aid to my studies.
If you’re looking at web design, tables are by far the most important thing to get a hold of, in my opinion. There’s nothing like a well-structured, clean website.
I have set up a website using HTML for a charity I am involved with (they didn’t exactly need anything flashy), which prompted me to call this goal complete. Thus, the disabled riders of Milton Keynes have benefited from my learning of HTML, and I can say this goal was worth it.
I suppose the next step would be to learn how to embed objects in other languages into HTML script, which I understand is not at all difficult. I have Flash, so I could easily add a lovely little animated links bar to the top of my page.

There are a lot of great resources out there, just go to Google and search “html tutorials”, “css tutorials”, or “xhtml tutorials”.
Now I’m a web designer! I make $15/hr with my job!

As well as HTML you need to know, how to market your site. You need to get SEO Tips to increase site traffic.
Not worth it!
If you know basic HTML, or even if you’re very comfortable with all manner of tags, you still don’t know enough to build a decent website in this day and age.
To do it properly, you need style sheets written in CSS, XML/PHP for something heavily content-based, AJAX for anything interactive, or a good handle on Photoshop for anything light on content (if you want a simple and nice-looking website, I suggest using ImageReady’s slice tool and replacing a slice with either a frame or a moveable content box).
A lot of us learned HTML at 12 or 13, but nothing worthwhile is being done with those simple tags anymore. There’s a lot more to learn than there once was… and even professionals use all kinds of tools now. Learn to use their tools and you’ll have the best luck.

I found this great HTML primer online at http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ that seriously helped me learn the basics of HTML. This has helped me to create seven webpages from scratch (albeit w/newbie skilz) and the HTML code along with it. The primers are easy to follow and get through quickly. I was able to finish the primer in two days, super fast! HTMLGoodies’ primer was so very worth it, check it out!
