Can I become a Web Designer without programming?

[inder]

I have a taken a few Web Design courses using Dreamweaver and love it. I can write HTML, however I hate programming. I bombed my C++ class. Is it possible to be a successful Web Designer in a reputed web site design company without programming? I'm looking to just create simple brochure type websites for people without all of the complex programming. There has to be a market for companies who just want a simple web page that can be created by mastering Dreamweaver and Fireworks. What do you think?

I'm sure it is, but it wouldnt hurt to learn programming

[darkAngel]

Yes you can but programming language will help you create a better site. It is always an advantage to learn it than relying on s/ware.

[aqgiles]

Sure it's possible, but obviously you won't go as far. At the very least can you find a friend or associate who can help you when you need things that require programming?

[anantshri]

as said above it is possible but you won't go far,

By the way learning server side scripting is not as boring as C++, give it a try once and then you will soon start loving it.

I am sure you could but you really sould at least learn php its very simple. If you master php then well you will probly find it easy to do html then java then c++ but for now just learn php and you will be in good shape.

I am sure I could.However, you should know atleast 1 program like php. It will help you more in your business.

[Captain Tycoon]

Yeah, you could. Some people don't just need web designers only, they may need Logo Designers and such.

I think that you should to learn programing to become good Web designer. Thats my opinion.

[malukow]

well, it's a very competitive area, there is lots of people wanting to work in a reputed web site design company.

i think you should learn at least the minimum about programming.

I would recommend learning a bit of PHP. It's not as intense as C++. A lot of people have trouble getting their head around object oriented programming. I had a hard time myself and I was a programmer for a long time in C. PHP is more of a top down language, not as confusing and thus easier to learn. Get a book on C (without the ++) and learn that or just start with one of the many PHP books.

That said, there is a market surely for a good artist and web designer that can deal with HTML and CSS without programming, but it will limit your options.

yes it is possible to design web page without using programming language but it is not possible to create according to our thought.for using logical part in our web page programming language should be known.

[roadrippersid]

yeah i think u can bt if u knw prograaming u can invent and rethink differntly and apply more ideas of creativity ....

[freehost]

IMO you'd better know a little programming knowledge, even if you can read them it is ok. Coz now nearly every site have dynamic side to meet the requiremen of visitors and clients, In a team for the site to be quality you must communicate with mate, so you must understand their work.

It is but obviously you won't go as far. At the incredibly least can you find a friend or connect who can help you when you need gear that necessitates programming?
