Reader Stories: How I Became a Web Designer

How did you become a Web designer? Did you take special classes? Did you teach yourself? Share your experiences and your story with others. And get a little free publicity into the bargain! Don't forget to include your URL in the section about your business.

Please note, the minimum text descriptions are not something I can get around. They are required on the About.com side of things as well. If you don't have enough to fill in the form to the short minimums, then you should return when you have more to say. I cannot approve items that use spaces or other random characters to make up the minimums.

Hi there. I'm really sorry to say this, but you won't be able to use this form because your browser doesn't have JavaScript enabled. You will need to turn on JavaScript if you want to submit a review. Thanks for understanding!
