What is the best way to learn about Web Design & Digital Media?

[Enrique Caruso]

I would love to get into Web design & digital media and I was wondering what was the best way to learn how to use industry standard software such as: Dreamweaver, Flash & Photoshop in order for me to fulfill that interest?

Hello Enriqué

The best way to learn how to use industry standard software such as Dreamweaver, Flash & Photoshop is either to enrol on a college/distance learning course or to teach yourself using some of the many thousands of tutorials on those software packages available on the net. You will, of course, also need a copy of each software, something that will set you back many hundreds of dollars/euros/clams.

The is an alternative, however. If you buy a copy of Xara Designer Pro 6 you will have all of the tools in one software package that will allow you to :

1. design a visually stunning website
2. create advanced web features such as cascading menus
3. create GIF and Flash animation
4. upload your files to a server
5. impress your aunts and uncles

Xara Designer Pro 6 will not teach you how to write standards compliant html/css, but that wasn't your question. So download yourself a copy of Xara Designer Pro 6 right away and start creating (and earning money!!).

Best wishes and good luck in your new career!

Hey Hemadri,

Your website link fired up my virus software alert for "Adware, spyware, or viruses"

Is this part of the "Web development services"?
