Very inspiring reply there, thanks a lot. I just downloaded brackets and I already got a few extensions, and to be honest I can’t believe I have been using notepad++ all this time!
I have started learning in that order, apart from the fact I started learning PHP for forms. I am going to get photoshop on a subscription and If this offer I got works out I will buy it up front. I got the java script and jQuery book that was mentioned before and I don’t think I am going to like java script at all.
Realistically you will never create a website that ranks #1 in google for the generic search term of “easy divorce”. At least not short term. Long term it is possible but that will be dependent on the things that molona mentioned. Rankings are driven by traffic which is driven by quality content and marketing initiatives to get people to the site. One of the best ways to do that at low cost is to provide a blog that is kept up to date with quality articles. Something to discuss with your client considering once built someone would need to take ownership over the content being published. Typically that would fall in the hands of the site owner for a smaller site which may or may not be feasible. However, if hiring someone to write content isn’t an option either than this might not be realistic given the clients circumstances.
Don’t beat yourself up Brackets is very new and I’ve only been using it for a year now. The plus side is it’s always updating and getting better. Because it is built on Javascript, it also acts as another reason to learn Javascript so you can make your own extensions some day.
Like I said programming was a beast for me to overcome. In the beginning most people just grab scripts off of others and don’t do any actual programming. We just learn to edit existing scripts to work how we need them to. Then as you become more comfortable and ambitious, you’ll be ready to create your own scripts from scratch.
Believe it or not it was by playing around with this software designed for kids younger than you that helped me finally “get it”. It’s called Scratch and built by MIT. It’ looks very childish but before you know it you’ll be going “Ahh, I get it now.”
Once you get there, you’ll realize that programming in most languages, particularly Javascript and PHP, is almost the same. They just have slightly different syntax and terms. Don’t expect to memorize them all. I still look them all up everyday.
I use notepad++ 
The editor you use is not important. Each of us have our favourite.
Regarding familly: they tend to ask for more than they pay for and give you grive everywhere because you’re available to them.
read this book
http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Make-Think-Revisited-Usability/dp/0321965515/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
Hi @puia and welcome to the forums.
Could you say a bit more about the book? Why do you recommend that one in particular?
Yes I know, its quite a hard term to do but I think if I do the points mentioned before I should be able to get it somewhere near the top, over time.
The website is going to have an implemented twitter feed, which should help.
Because I’m such a young age and I have little experience/work to show off, my dad didn’t pay me half of the budget (which I am fine with, I would do it for free) so I think he will be able to hire someone to write the content.
I just started photoshop recently as you said to do it next, and I am enjoying it a lot. I am finding it easiest to enter contests on 99designs. This is the second one I have done (And my favourite)
I didn’t win which is understandable as It was my second ever design on photoshop, but I was happy with them 
I have heard of that, they made us use it a year or two back in school.
I think I am giving my dad more grieve than he is me haha
Sorry for the long post haven’t been on here in a bit.
Actually, those are good designs… At least you have good taste. I mean, you can be the king of Photoshop that if you don’t have good tastes… which font did you use for the logo?
I should have mentioned, I made everything on it apart from the Curentt Logo. That was provided in blue, and I did everything else.
The reason I didn’t win I think is because with about 12 hours left, after I had already entered, he changed the brief completely and asked for a different design, different colours, different text. I really couldn’t be bothered to change it all after making all of that.
