I’ve already designed it with simple tools from the site I purchased it from but it looks way generic. I’ve even got some pictures up but I need help to make it look more personal and insert thumbnails and ability to click pics and enlarge them to view…etc….etc.
I own Adobe Photoshop CS2 but have no idea how to use it. I tried Adobe tutorials and can’t really get what I need. I looked on Amazon for “Web Design for Dummies” and a couple of reviews note that this is not a book for beginners/newbies, it’s for folks aspiring to be professional…etc. Can you suggest any other books/tutorials.

Currently, I am deciding on which web design certificate program I should take. I decided to go this route since I have a BS already and I am not interested in going back to school for another 4 years. This will all be based on cost and the timeframe. I noticed some certificate programs can last from 5 months to 1 years. Does it really matter the length of time? I just want to make sure I am getting everything that I need to get started in this field. Can you please let me know if this is a good program. Also, does it matter if this is a non-credit certificate or will that effect me later? I am listing 2 of the same programs but from 2 different institutions (community colleges). The both cost less than $1500 for all courses.
