5 Lessons Learned By a Young Webmaster
- What do you want from your position as being a web developer?
Ask yourself this question. If you answer money, just forget about it. I am not saying there isn't a way to make good money in web design; I am just saying you need more fuel in your fire than just money to keep your ambition. Before you think about getting into this, make sure that you don't mind sitting at a computer 8 hours during work, and then come home and spend another 4 or 5 hours on your home computer. It can't be something forced, you must want to do it! - Choose a Niche that Interests You
When brainstorming ideas about building your website, don't just think about what could bring you in the most cash. That often leads to disappointment in the beginning and later abandoning the site. Think about a topic that you could be considered an "expert" in. You want your visitors to understand that you know what you are talking about, and you aren't just posting some crap on a site, and throwing ads all over it. Just make sure you pick something that you know you would be interested next year too. - Learn Server-Side, Database, CSS, and JavaScript Languages
Server-side languages, such as ASP and PHP, could be grouped along with a databasing language like MySQL, MSSQL, or Oracle, because they are your rock when it comes to dynamic content. If you are willing to learn a server-side language, it will severely cripple your ability to build great websites. Also, CSS is very handy to style your website, and take the clutter out of your HTML pages. Then we come to JavaScript. This is a client side language that can really bring a desktop feel to your website. All of these languages have tons of books written about them, and I highly recommend you learn ALL of them! - If You Can't Do It, Pay Someone Who Can
This is an important lesson, because let's face it, if you are a programming, there is not much room in your head for design creativity. I can't make a good looking logo if my life depended on it, but I can pay someone to do it for me. You may shy away from this, but I promise you, you will waste more money in failed attempts to design crappy looking logos than if you would just pay an artist. - Design a Strong Foundation and Architecture
on Paper
If you just start making folders and throwing files everywhere without some structure and/or plan, you will end up with a server full of junk that no one would ever want to sort through. When I start a new site, I normally create a few standard folders; documentation, api, images, includes, JavaScript, pages, and scripts. This is just what I do; you can do whatever you are most comfortable with, but be mindful of the future of your site.

Hi Douglas, great article first of all. I was thinking about getting into web design, and I see that you use Dreamweaver to write the code, but do you use any other software? Thanks for any help!
Reply to this CommentHi Tammy,
For actually writing the code for the site, I use Dreamweaver 8 as mentioned before.
For graphic design I use Fireworks 8.
For debugging, I use the Firebug extension for Firefox.
For competitive analysis, keyword research, and other seo, I use the free version of Web SEO. I think this is the best program out there for seo that you can find for free. I would love to buy the full version someday!
These are the main ones I use most frequently.

This is a 5 lessons that a webmaster wannabe should not forget...I think I cannot be a webmaster coz I'm lacking in programming and design...maybe this one is not for me...
Reply to this CommentThanks a lot for the compliments guys, if you need any help with anything let me know.
Reply to this CommentHi,

I don't use mambo or joomla. I've heard of them, but never really looked into what they were. How old is mambo?

Great article, but I just wanted to add one more thing. Proofread. Your point #3 says, "if you are willing to learn a server side language, it will severly cripple your ability to create great websites". I think you meant to say, "if you AREN'T willing......"
Reply to this CommentI think every webmaster would have some basic background of either web designing or web programming. If you ask me I am a web designer and when it comes to server side scripting or programming I am almost lost. One can learn the basics of the either side while having a real good command on the other.
I think handing over the other site to a good expert and pay him some would be great idea. In that case you don't have to learn too much in deep and your site will get help from two different experts from two different areas which will save time and make the most of internet.
