You don’t need to learn more new tools. Instead, you need to learn the basics of web design.

Firstly, start learning HTML and CSS.

This is the first approach to become a web designer, the basics of HTML and CSS should be clear in mind before moving further.

Regularly practice of the code and designing your website from scratch will help in gaining the in-depth knowledge of the coding.

Once you’ve gone through that tutorial start practicing by building your own website. This might be a simple portfolio site to show information about you or something else.

Knowledge of User-Friendly design and Color Combinations:

Try to design a single page with just text, in black and white.

Why just text? Why only black and white?

Because the text is by far the most used medium to convey a message on the web. Therefore, it’s fundamental for you, as a web designer, to be able to make text look good and be a pleasure to read.

Why black and white?  Because choosing colors is yet another task as a web designer because it’s the color combination which makes the website looks attractive. Taking small steps will make you feel happy about the progress you’re making and will help you learn quicker.

Apply the basic design principles you learned + use the observations of other people’s designs + think about the goal of that page + size the text using a modular scale.

Now as of now you are able to understand the HTML and CSS, also has design basic websites and have knowledge of loops, arrays, colors, fonts, tags so it’s time to learn some advanced technology so as to stand out among the different web designers and start building the professional websites.

Now, it’s time to learn the JavaScript.

Javascript: It is a language which is also characterized as dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based and multi-paradigm.

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of the World Wide Web. JavaScript enables interactive web pages and this is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it, and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.

Design with the business goal in mind.

A web design exists to help a business realize its goal and to help the user achieve their own goal. When the 2 goals converge, everyone is happy.

So, that goal should be your starting point, always. You should base each design decision that you make on this goal—font choices, color choices, layout, etc.

Observe other people’s designs. What of the basic principles did they use and how? But don’t just observe, also note your observations

JQuery:  jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.

Once all the concept is clear, you will be now able to build a professional website and give a start your career.

Last thing you need to learn about Responsive Web Design.
