I am learning various programming languages (JAVA, C) in school right now but I want to learn website design languages on the side. What do you recommend I start out learning?
I am a web designer. I recommend you HTML, XHTML and CSS. These are the languages used for web designing. For web developing you should learn PHP or ASP Language. HTML is used to create static websites but PHP and ASP is used to create dynamic websites.
You should learn HTML, XHTML and CSS first. After completing these you can learn PHP and ASP.
You can also learn these languages sitting in your home.

I do a small amount of website design in my spare time, i like the templates from places like Template Monster, and i am thinking about buying some templates from there. Would you say that some companies will buy from places like template monster and then edit it to the clients liking?
Can i do this, or is it wrong?
Thanks
David.
It is possible for some to do this. However, if you are talking about experienced company, then they would already have their own array of custom designs to modify that they have created over the years. Not to mention, that it does not take long to create a website in the first place.

It is possible to have a button on a page that you click to see a random entry from a database (quote, fact or whatever)?
If so, can anyone help point me in the right direction to do it?
I’m a website-design novice so the more detail the better!
Thanks!
well, you have a few choices, the best (easiest) for this is JavaScript
Have an array of quotes, Pick a random number, and use it as an index to the array.
you can learn javascript at:

The next choice is setting up your own webserver or using a server that supports PHP, ASP.NET, JSP, Coldfusion, or some other serverside language and doing the same thing. The difference is you can write a front-end manager and not have to touch the code once you finished, but the main principle is the same. PHP is probably the easiest one since it has a better community to help. Check out php.net

My aunt asked me to design a website for her new business and she said she would pay me to do it, but I really don’t have any idea of how much to charge her. It is a five page site. How much would you charge? Flat price for the whole thing, or an hourly rate?
I’m a web designer too and I’ve seen rates in my local area from $20 per hour to as high as $95 per hour. I’ve also seen flat rates from $99 for a one page site to some really crazy amounts…I’m talking $10,000 for ecommerce.
It really depends on what she wants, what your are able to do, etc. Personally I charge $99 for a 3 page site and $30 for each additional page. I find the flat rate is an easier sell to the customer. Sometimes I come out good…and sometimes I lose on flat rates. Very important to find out up front what she wants so you don’t have a lot of revisions.
I use templates/sitebuilders so it is not hard and there is very little actual coding.
Make sure to find out what she can spend on hosting. Prices for this range from $5 per month and up depending on how much space she needs.
If she needs a domain name, don’t pay the $30-$75 I see so often. You find them for $9.95 and with an excellent company. I use them because the domain name gets registered to the person…not the domain company so you maintain full control over it.
I’ve put links below to a hosting site with sitebuilder software included as well as the domain name company I use.
Hope that helps.

Please don’t say that you just do it yourself…I do too and am not looking for that info.
What do you look for when you are evaluating a website design company to decide if you want to use them?
When you hire a web designer to do your job for you, you are doing more than just handing over the "dirty job" to someone else. In fact, by paying a little money, you can let the designer worry about the little annoyances that always evade the main picture and only come haunting when you’re halfway through the job. That way, you will be more focused and have more time to spend on your actual business strategy.
Look at their portfolio of sites. Ask for references from customers and then call or email the references. Ask what kind of tech support they offer- if there is a problem with your site, how long does it take them to get back to you and to fix the problem.
