Pls guys need help on how to be a web designer....pls recommend.a training institute nd pls post ther probable charge

Below are some:

NIIT,
NEW HORIZON
SOFTCITY

Those are some of the Big names(Institute)

My candid advice is to get a professional personal trainer or learn on your own if you can. As most of this companies are after your money and can at best offer you a certificate(Which you can get later on and is not so necessary)

There are some cool experts who could teach you here(Members)
DHTML,
Dual Core,
Pc-Guru
and a host of others. Though i doubt if the above listed may have such time. You can never tell.

I could offer you help too. That's if you want and for the next few weeks. As i am very busy.

Please note the difference between a web designer, developer and a programmer.

So you can have a better knowledge of what you want and what you get!

Pls wat da difference among web designer,devoper nd programmer 4 beta undastanding b4 we start talking abt payment nd how to start with you

Web design is a broad term covering many different skills and disciplines that are used in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include; web graphic design, interface design, authoring; including standardized code and proprietary software, user experience design and search engine optimization.

So the training should contain the following:
HTML,
CSS,
SEO
Web Graphics design(Using Fireworks, Corel or any other one)

With this you will learn how to design good sites that meet with standard.

Web development is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development.
Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.


So the training should contain the following:
HTML,
CSS
Javascript(Or any other scripting language on the client side)
PHP(Or any other server side programming language)
Web Graphics design(Using Fireworks, Corel or any other one)
Working API, module and design patterns for great sites.

A web developer should be able to build any kind of site, from simple to complex(e-commerce, shopping cart, social networking sites, and dedicated software for solving problems or handling tasks in any organization) So you become abreast with programming and design.

Programming is a totally different ball game.

Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in one or more programming languages. The purpose of programming is to create a set of instructions that computers use to perform specific operations or to exhibit desired behaviors. The process of writing source code often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

@Donpuzo. How long wd it take for one to learn Web Development and what is the cost? What does it also take for one to get International Certification? I'm into Web design already, but using CMS for now. I wd love to upgrade.

@okpnee.
The job of IT is continious. You learn as you develop more sites and apllications. And learning of course depends on individual pace of understanding. With zeal and constant practice, in 2 or 3 month you could develop cool stuffs. As for certification, you need sound pratical and therotical knowlege. Though each certification has its scope/requirement. Mosty of them will give you what you need to knw on their site and also materials to prepare. As for the cost. Contact me via 08167189898. Thanks
