Hello Warriors,

I'd like to learn on what skills needed to implement my design ideas on a certain website. I have the eyes for great looking website but I don't know how to code.

I already know how to build a wordpress website and can change background image and colors using firebug.

My skill is very limited to customize a wordpress theme. There are some wordpress themes that have great framework but very basic web design. (only for my eyes)

I want to learn on how to customize a wordpress premium theme framework and also to learn on how to create a child theme.

I need an advice from real web developers/designers on which course do I need to take. As of now I have the list of training that I found.

WebDesign.com - Professional Web Design Training with WordPress
https://www.udemy.com/thecompletewebdeveloper/
https://www.udemy.com/how-to-become-...-from-scratch/

Please help me choose the best web design and web development training. If you know of a good course or recommendation, please share it here.

Thanks.

    If you don't know how to code, which you said you don't then I think you should start with the basics of HTML, CSS, Javascript and then move on to implementing them in Wordpress. Without the knowledge of them, you will not be able to edit or customize the themes.

      Agreed. HTML/CSS is a must if you want to implement anything into Wordpress.

      If you have no clue of HTML/CSS then you may destroy everything

      Begin with HTML and CSS, there are tons of tutorials online. Google them.

        All those great looking websites were created using code. As others have already pointed out, that's where you need to start.

      Thanks for the advice. Is it just html, css, and javascript? Do I need to learn html5 and css3?

    Like already said, you have to learn HTML + CSS (that's the basics). Get Notepad++ (free) for the text editor.

    After you've learned HTML + CSS setup WAMP server (free) & you can start building Wordpress themes offline.

    Typical workflow: PSD --> HTML/CSS template --> Wordpress theme

      I'm starting to learn html and css at tutsplus. I'm on 7th tutorial and hoping to master it in a short period of time.

      Here's the exact url 30 Days to Learn HTML & CSS - Free Tuts+ Premium Course.

      I'm using sublime text 2 as the trainor recommend it for coding. I don't know how to use wamp but I already tried xampp when I learned basic wordpress.

      I might check notepad++ to see the difference.

      Thanks Yukon.

    Hi there,

    To my mind, one of the best website to learn coding is: Learn to code | Codecademy (very well made, includes step by step lesson and exercises).

    Good luck!
