You should now be able to:
- create a web page with text, images, lists and tables
- link that page to others to create a proper site
- style that Web site to look how your client wants it to look and feel in a general way
What is missing so far is how to make objects appear where you want them on the page. This positioning is covered in the Intermediate CSS section because that is where CSS gets harder.
To really make money as a Web designer you will also need to add some interactivity (JavaScript), some database content (PHP and MySQL) or maybe both. These are covered on this site but make sure you are comfortable with XHTML and CSS before you move on to them. To summarise:
- make sure by practising you can confidently create the structure of a site in HTML
- make sure by practising you can change colours, sizes and fonts for those pages using CSSCSS exercise
- only then decide what to learn next:
- JavaScript to make things happen on the pages after they are in the browser
- PHP and MySQL to allow you to create ever-changing pages customised to users or other factors
- CSS at a higher level, especially positioning, to allow you to create page layouts
