Hi, I need some advice. Currently, I am learning frontpage 2003. Other than that I have no knowledge of web designing. I have done my BA and now plan to start my career as a web designer. What certificate courses would you recommend? Could you list a few courses, in order, that I can do to become a professional web designer? If you say something like ASP.NET, could you please also define what it is about so I will know what I need to do. I am basically interested in designing web sites for e-commerce. So I will also need to know what certification teaches shopping cart stuff and things like that.Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would investigate schools that specialize in web design. For example, University of Computer Technology in Tempe Arizona. DeVry also has courses in web design. http://www.devry.edu/programs/web_gr...ut.jspConsider that web sites are far more than the simple layouts and HTML that you can build with FrontPage. ASP.NET is the .NET Framework namespace that can be used to create and manage the site. Yes, it's something that you should consider. However, there are even newer technologies being introduced that will (in several years) make ASP.NET less important. Web design for commercial sites also means a throrough knowledge of database, business practices, accounting, credit card management, order processing and much, much more. The schools I mentioned (esp. UAT) specialize in these sciences. hth

Once you have a good understanding of HTML, I'd strongly recommend learning a server-side scripting language like PHP, as well as a database like MySQL. Another good thing to learn is CSS.
