    I know that html based on what I knew before is very easy to program and i need to try and find a way to make extra money from home. So I appreciate any help.

    No. I am going to try some sites to learn web design again, but half of the time I can't quite get the hang of working everything out and knowing how to advertise properly. Html though is easy as shit.

    Thank you. I am tired of keeping up my special needs sister and mentally disabled mothe. Plus being poor does not help. Can't even get enough time to go to school. Heck, I was about to try and do one of those go fund me programs like kickstarter.

    Just steal other people's sites and change all the pointers and text to your own. Less work.

    It depends on what sort of web design you want to do; most of it will be choosing a framework and working within that nowadays. I've got a friend that runs a design firm and they use Magento, Laravel's fairly light and straightforward if you're new to it.

    I personally write most websites in notepad (geany actually), but mine are mostly pure utility for background scripts - I don't care a lot about design.

    The industry that generates money from designing, implementing, and maintaining websites has becomes a bit more specialized over the last ~15 years, there isn't one "web design" job title anymore. There's a general division between design (UI/UX, people who work customers to establish what exactly is going to be built), development (programmers), and "ops" or system administrators who establish the infrastructural systems that serve web products during and after development. Typically each of these general headings entails a different set of tools, training,
    and wages although you still find people who span all three. So the first step is figuring out which of those roads you want to go down, I'd suggest reading up a bit on what the day to day of each entails, what the pay looks likes, what you think you'd have a personal affinity for. Then there are a lot of choices of tooling, general philosophies, and specializations within each.
