Why place limitation on yourself?

You'll meet clients with different requirements.

No Nigeria bank uses wordpress for their website yet. No big financial company uses wordpress yet. None that I know of... so why are you advising a beginner on basis of limitations?

Someone that knows the basis of HTML, CSS and PHP sat down to write wordpress. So why not try to learn the basis so you can build your own wordpress?

I use wordpress and I have 10s of sites running on wordpress but don't compromise on learning the basis. Some way, I choose when to use bootstrap or any framework. Don't rely 100% on tools, platforms and frameworks.

God Bless!!!
I recommend WordPress for simple website design. It's critical to learn the basis, but anyone who wants to make money faster as web designer should learn WordPress.
And, if you learn how to create wordpress plug in and edit wordpress themes... i see no reason why you can't build any type of website

Ok bro. It's a pity that those that want to learn something meaniful on computer do not have access to it. One must learn to start "anyhow".

Is there any special software for java script. If there is what's d name of d software. I know how to use dreamweaver, html, I was taught how to copy scripts code n make it animate. I don't know how to publish a website. Early this morning someone has contacted me for website design but I keep giving d work to a friend because I have never publish any site. So what can u say about my issue n what do u think I need?
You can actually write your codes (html, css and javascript ) in any text editor notepad ++, sublime text and the likes. However to make your work easier and faster you can choose an IDE(WYSIWYG) and stick to it. For example you can write your javascript in dreamweaver, visual studio etc. Depending on the nature of the job. You can also learn how to use some CMS. (WordPress and Co. ) My advice, start from learning how to write raw html & css. You will later learn advance web development to create robust solutions that manage data and create some logic the learning curve includes (php &mysql) (Microsoft asp. net &sql server) And the likes.

No, you dont. Just learn HTML, and be a bit flexible with it, then learn any of the CMSs like Joomla or WordPress. But i suggest wordpress, and that'll be ok. .5omGG

It's possible, most android phones allow that, you nees apps like es file explorer to be able to creat .html, css, and .js files. And then maybe firefox for offline viewing.

Kudos to you holuwajobar , I'm glad to meet someone else who is willing to learn programming despite the inasccesibility to personal computers. It's frusrating coding with phones. I know that, I do it. I don't have a pc myself.

I would say, you need to learn it with notepad first, then later you use dreamweaver, so that you will understand where things go wrong in your code when using dreamweaver.

I hope you get a pc soon. I'm dying to get one myself.

I hav 1 brand new pc for you

why is nobody mentioning bootstrap..??
Because bootstrap is a html and css framework.... and it's not advisable for a beginner to start learning framework

Bro, you getting this all wrong there is a difference btw Web Design and Web Development. Web design is all about your HTML5, CSS3, building responsive design layout using Mobile First Design(Bootstrap), Content Management System(CMS) which includes WordPress, Joomla etc and SEO

While Web Development is abt building Web Based app using either Front end or Back end or using both stuffs lyk Javascript, JQuery, Ajax and server side Sql and PHP

Tools needed for web design are simply ur laptop, good browsers nd Text Editor personally for me I will recommend Notepad++ or SublimeText3. So pls let's Differentiate btw these two.

Damn, I don't even know why I am wasting my time with all these street developers and designers.

You don't even know the difference between web design and web development. Google is just a tab away to helping you.

Web design deals with User interface (UI) and User Experience (UX). Tools used here are photoshop, fireworks, illustrator etc, this is where usability, look and feel come handy.

While Web development is classified into two: front end development (browser side) and back end development (server side). In front end, you have CSS, HTML, JAVASCRIPT etc. while back end you have PHP, C++, JAVA, ASP.NET, Python, C#, etc.

Some people are here to learn, don't mislead them if you don't know what you are saying.

And don't bother responding to me with the crap you have to say

Notepad is okay too and you can also start with dreamweaver8, the design view and the code view are simple to decode.
