To learn the basics, you can ask your peers who are good at it to teach you. When no one is available try to have tutorials.

5. Examine, proofread and edit your page. Be sure to have good loading and navigation. The contents must all be purposeful and redounds to the function of your site. The text must be readable and the colors are good to the eyes. Consider also other important factors that make a site productive. If there are flaws or errors, correct them right away.

6. Continue doing other pages. If you are already satisfied with your first page, continue doing the rest and follow the same procedure to check the quality of your site.

7. Upload your web design to your host. If you are done with your web design, you can now upload it to your host. That's all it takes. Now you have a well-created site.

Regularly analyze the progress of your sites as well as your competitor's in order to know what strategies you have to employ to make it better from the rest. You can run optilinks to delve deeper.
