With that, you will get millions of results (75,700,000 as of the writing of this article). That is a lot of results to look through to find what will be useful. I have my personal list of where I like to go when I would like some help if I get stuck on something. I have my favorites for each aspect of the design process from<strong> CSS to Javascript<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_to_the_List\"><\/span>On to the List<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are just <strong>beginning in web design<\/strong>, I believe it would be beneficial to start out by going to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3schools.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">w3schools.com<\/a>. There you can go through all their tutorials which are relevant to what you wish to learn. This will give you a <strong>good idea of the basics<\/strong>, and it is a good start. They also have some examples you can try. Also, there is an online editor where you can make changes to the <strong>HTML or CSS<\/strong> and see right there how it will come out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For <strong>CSS<\/strong> help I am partial to <a href=\"http:\/\/welovecss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">welovecss.com<\/a>. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alvit.de\/handbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Web Developer\u2019s Handbook<\/a> is another great resource for CSS. This is a forum, but it has links to the right resources for tutorials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For <strong>PHP\/MySQL<\/strong> help I like to go to The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.devnetwork.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Developer\u2019s Network<\/a> forums. Also, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phpbuilder.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phpbuilder.com<\/a> is a good site for tutorials on PHP\/MySQL scripting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For help with <strong>javascript<\/strong>, I go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.javascriptkit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">javaScriptKit.com<\/a>. These are my favorite technologies for web design.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Freelance_Sites\"><\/span>Freelance Sites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As far as finding web design work online there are quite a few sites you can look at. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guru.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guru.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freelancer.com<\/a> are good sites to find web design gigs. Guru and Freelancer both are <strong>bids based sites<\/strong> where you place a bid on what you want for a certain job. From there the person that has the listing picks based on your criteria which they would like to do the work for them. <a href=\"http:\/\/craigslist.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Craigslist<\/a> is another decent site for finding work. However, there are a lot of people that post ads to have a website built that don\u2019t want to pay what the work is worth.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Sites\"><\/span>Other Sites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.csszengarden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSS Zen Garden<\/a> is a very helpful site to check out some of the nice things you can do with <strong>CSS<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.about.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">About.com<\/a> is another good site to check out for <strong>any help you need<\/strong> whether its web-design related or not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>I have been working with web design for over ten years, and in my experience, it is always good to have some good online resources.
