Resources/Tutorials
What you DON'T need to become proficient in web design is a college education. Smart designers know where to go for information on the latest technology and the latest developments in their field. They also know where to go for help when necessary. You don't have to be Einstein either to develop or maintain your site. All you need is the desire and the push of a button to get headed in the right direction.
Empowermom provides articles from many sources, plus links and tutorials to guide you along the way. With technology being what it is we are all in a constant state of learning. If you have a website you'll need to keep informed of what's hot and what's not.

Forums are a great way to build upon your skills as a web designer and they're also a quick way to find support for that one dysfunctional piece of code you can't seem to master. A quick web search will lead you to thousands of forums. It's best to stick with a few "tried and true" sites that always have current information and helpful folks around when you really need them and here's how to find them.
