How did you start?

I wanted to start my website on my niche, but I was not able to afford a professional web designer. So with whatever knowledge of Forntpage and templates I had, I started one. As time passed, I became more aware of things like PHP, CSS, databases, etc and now my site runs of such things.

For me it started as a result of being not able to afford a designer. Now its my hobby! I don't design it for other(I have poor graphical skills but quite good programming skills). I use my skills for my purpose like I had to build and online testing centre, etc and try to help other people at the forums.

I'm in the computer field, though basic web design was taught during my college courses. I did ok at it (flashing icons and all) at the time, but I always enjoyed the creative fun it was and especially the constant challenge each website brought.

It's been a great hobby, but looking to pursue it further in my spare time.

mines quite embarassing haha! i started learning html in order to be able to redesign my petpages at an online virtual pet site called neopets (im 23 - this is why its so embarassing lol), i then found it really interesting and started playing about with templates and stuff and i am now learning to write php and designing my 6th paid website, i did quite a few unpaid before that to build up my portfolio.

I got started in my 6th grade web design class on an iMac. Ever since then I've been fiddling with free sites and building professional sites for the company I work for.
