watch YouTube videos on html, css and javascript breh. it's easy as shyt (I find javascript hard tho). learn them so you can easily understand and edit templates you download to design sites for people

I know a little bit of css and html, not too much java.

My thing is that makes me hesitant is that why would someone hire me? You probably got mad dudes who know what they’re doing and I’m sure they’re getting all the jobs, so my biggest thing is that I don’t want to waste time and energy learning this stuff and not get any jobs from it.

Do you have any experience freelancing?

Thanks

I also felt the same way, so I just learnt it as a hobby..so it's just something I have as part of my skillset. And you need to have samples created so whenever an opportunity rises, you have something to show. (I've been too lazy to do this tho. It requires a lot of motivation, knowing you might not see any money soon). I just designed a site like thecoli for my final year project and kept it moving. But I'm working a boring government job now, I'll prolly kill time designing websites

Don't view it as a waste of time breh, just do it as a hobby. Knowing how to do various things just makes you more equipped

I have no experience freelancing breh. I'm the type of nikka the coli prolly hates, I'll rather have stable employment than put my self out there like that. So certs are very important to a nikka like me...:francis:

Tldr: Acquiring and mastering a new skill shouldn't be viewed as a waste of time, learn it as a hobby and let it be your side hustle

So how can I look at putting time into learning this as a plus? Like can it really help me with work?

How long did it take you to make a site like the coli and how long did it take you to remember the steps?

I forget a lot and have to keep copying and pasting, the frustrating thing is that I would copy something exactly how it was made in another design, but it wouldn’t do shyt for my design.

I'm just saying learn and understand the concepts, so you can edit templates when designing sites for people. No one is going to ask to see you designing a site from scratch breh.

Lol. Like 2 nights. Designing a forum is easy as shyt :mjlol:
