unique web designingYou have probably landed on a website that enthralled you from its unique web designing concept while surfing the web. Perhaps you wished you could learn how to build such a site, right? The truth is that web design is something you can learn and do like a pro if you work hard at it.
This guide covers the building blocks of unique web designing. It helps you get started on your journey to becoming a seasoned SEO and web design expert. Read on.

The Starting Point

CMS

You can start by learning a basic web programming language like hypertext markup language (HTML), which is used for coding. There are groups of free resources on the internet about HTML. Also, learn a scripting language like JavaScript and a database application like MySql. If that sounds intimidating, you can try a content management system (CMS) like WordPress.
Nowadays, things have become a little easier, thanks to CMSs. They offer a unique web designing option to build an attention-grabbing site without writing a single code. The value of content management systems is that they come with a variety of customizable templates. You easily choose the one that suits you and tailor it to your unique web designing requirements.

What Do I Need if I Choose the CMS Way?

You need a CMS and a database application. So, download the latest versions of WordPress and Xampp (for your database) on your computer. Install the database application first and then the CMS. The installation process is straight forward. You can use the help facilities on the official sites of WordPress and Xampp if you get stuck.
Once you are executed with the installation, you can log into the WordPress backend and start building your first site. Either work with the default WordPress theme or choose a different one. As you build your site, bear in mind that you have to optimize it for the web. Think about SEO.

 What is SEO?
