Default Looking To Get Into Web Design

So I want to be able to make good looking websites. Where do I start? What do I need to learn? And also, to practice, am I going to need to purchase hosting so I have a "test ground"?

I'm not sure where you can design for people. Though I highly recommend that you get some sort of hosting where you can show off your work.

I'm hoping StevieRox will post here because I want to be able to do what he's done with his website; it's sick.

EDIT: Didn't mean StevieRox. I can remember who it was I'm thinking of, but they have a link to their site in their sig.

EDIT: I remembered, it was StevenWongo. Here's his site.

Well, I don't know too much about it, but the design itself is usually in graphics programs (photoshop) and then coded. Do you know photoshop?

I'm not trying to be able to create a specific element on a webpage.. I want to know what I need to learn so that I will be able to create whatever I can dream up.

If you cannot do graphics, you just took a major bullet. ( Hey, I can't do them either, but I do sites aswell ).. Try and find a friend , or make one, and have them help you with the graphics for your site.

Next, you have to learn Html, CSS, and for more advanced sites, PHP.
