One highly recommended option is the "Web Design for Everybody" specialization on Coursera, offered by the University of Michigan. This comprehensive program covers various aspects of web design, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as accessibility and responsive design principles.
For those interested in delving into the world of front-end development, the "Front End Web Developer Nanodegree" on Udacity provides an in-depth curriculum covering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, along with frameworks like Bootstrap and React. The practical projects included in this course allow students to build a strong portfolio of work.

Moreover, individuals seeking to enhance their user experience and interface design skills can benefit from courses such as "UI/UX Design Specialization" by California Institute of the Arts on Coursera, which focuses on user-centered design, prototyping, and usability testing.

Additionally, platforms like Treehouse offer a diverse range of courses covering everything from foundational web design concepts to advanced topics such as animation and SVG graphics. The interactive nature of Treehouse's learning experience makes it especially engaging for beginners.
Exploring resources like "A Book Apart" and "Smashing Magazine" can provide valuable insights into industry best practices and emerging trends in web design. Attending web design conferences and joining professional communities like Awwwards and Dribbble can also help expand one's knowledge and stay connected with the broader design community.

Are you looking to study for free or are you willing to invest in a fee-based course?

If you're interested in free resources, I would suggest exploring YouTube channels such as Highlights school and Firefly Design, which offer free video tutorials on web design. Additionally, you can find free materials like articles, textbooks, and books online to supplement your learning. However, it's important to note that while video tutorials can help you grasp the theoretical aspects of web design, they may not provide practical assignments with feedback or certification.

Another option for free or fee-based courses is through MOOC platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and Open Education, where you can access full-fledged web design courses from experienced instructors. Paid courses on these platforms often come with a certificate upon completion and may offer a more structured learning format. Keep in mind that many of these courses are presented in English.

If your aim is to become a professional web designer, I strongly recommend considering paid courses. These courses offer fresh, structured material, extensive homework with feedback, and the opportunity to earn certificates and diplomas. Some programs even provide internship and job placement support. Given the current landscape, online courses are a more practical choice than traditional full-time study.

Online schools such as Netology, Skillbox, and GeekBrains offer comprehensive programs in web design. When choosing a course, consider your goals. If you're seeking an introduction to web design, opt for an affordable short-term program that focuses on specific areas such as fonts, Adobe XD, or UX/UI design. These programs typically cost up to 10,000 rubles and can be completed in less than a month.
