 Advertise here with BSA I remember how popular web design was even 5 or 10 years ago. Kids in high school were teaching themselves HTML and building small web pages from scratch. And nowadays this is possible because of the thousands of free tutorials and code online. Open source has dramatically shaped an industry of high-tech and high demand.
But it can still be difficult pinpointing exactly what you want to learn. Beyond straight HTML/CSS there is jQuery for frontend animation, PHP/RoR for backend web apps, and even Java/Objective-C for mobile apps. With this collection you should be able to track down a few tutorials in whatever topic catches your interest. If you notice we've missed a resource feel free to share with us in the post discussion area below.

 Advertise here with BSA There's no denying that Wordpress has become the leading CMS on the market. Anybody looking to launch a simple website would be foolish not to consider WP. It has the largest amount of free themes and plugins - not to mention the huge base of developers working to push out bug fixes every day.
But just working with the default Wordpress options is not enough. That's why I have this collection of 26 amazing resources for those interested in learning Wordpress. You can find hundreds of free templates & plugins to mess around with. Additionally some web developers have written tutorials on how you can edit code and customize your installation. Spend some time going through these links and be sure to share your thoughts with us in the post discussion area.

 Advertise here with BSA Freelancing seems like one of the most lucrative job titles. And it's true that setting your own hours and working on interesting projects can be a lot of fun. But there is also the matter of looming deadlines and touchy clients you need to keep satiated.
One of the most important tools for a freelancer is their work station. You can't get anything done if your work area is poorly setup, cluttered, or too small to fit inside. In the gallery below I have put together 40 brilliant examples of freelance offices, both home & industrial. Your creative space is truly a sacred realm where you must remain focused and motivated. I hope some of these photos can enliven your spirit to continue designing and freelancing.

 Advertise here with BSA Using jQuery we can build some incredible web-based applications. The animations and manipulation of DOM elements using jQuery are much more intuitive than coding regular JavaScript. Because the syntax is so minimalist it's possible to scale a very complex idea within a few hours time.
In this tutorial I'll demonstrate how we can build an HTML5 invite form and check the results through jQuery. I haven't gone into any backend PHP as this isn't always the best solution for an invitation system. You may want to tie into another e-mail campaign such as MailChimp or Campaign Monitor. But with this technique running the frontend you can quickly implement a backend language to manage the e-mail submissions.

 Advertise here with BSA A lot of web designers - both beginning and advanced - ask me how they can increase their hourly rate.
They want to work fewer hours and make more money so they can have the things they want without sacrificing time with their family and friends.
Some web designers know this is possible, they just don’t know how to do it. Other web designers think it's a "pie in the sky" kind of dream.
I’m here to tell you, making $125 (or more) per hour as a web designer is not unheard of. In fact, it’s the average rate my students are able to make after completing our training programs at LearnWebDevelopment.com.
For the past 8 years, I have worked with tens of thousands of beginning web designers and, as a result, I’ve developed the best way to start and run a web design business.
For both beginning and advanced web designers, one piece of advice comes up frequently: To increase your hourly income, build your websites in WordPress.
Over the past few years, since I started recommending WordPress, it’s only increased in popularity and demand. It’s gone from a simple blogging platform to the most popular content management system around. It’s so popular that clients are now asking for WordPress websites.
If you’re still not using WordPress to increase your web design income, what are you waiting for? Here are three ways WordPress will make you a more profitable web designer:

There are so many examples it can be hard to keep track of them all. But this should come as reassurance to let you know there is a powerful market just waiting to be flooded. Spend a bit of time checking out these inspirational layouts and which elements you can apply to your own project. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to creating an application website.
