[Hidden-tech] Webmaster Certification

[Stefan Gonick]

Hi Matt,

I'm not sure what you mean by "certification", but this is what I have
recommended as the core knowledge needed to be a web designer:

1. Good graphic design skills
2. Learn the following tools:
     - Dreamweaver
     - Photoshop (comes with Imageready)
3. HTML/CSS

Those tools are sufficient for most web design work. You could also
learn Flash if you want, but it is not essential for getting started.

You don't need to learn all of the programming oriented stuff unless
you also want to be a web programmer, which is a completely different
set of skills. That's what I do for a living. I team up with a web designer
to do all of my projects.  It's too much for more to try to learn both;
different aptitudes are involved (ie. design versus programming). I have
a MS in computer science, so I'm comfortable with the programming
part. :)
