We have had some web design classes at school, but they were not enough to be able to make a website.

Hello Guys N Gals! My name is Ryan. I live in Mumbai(India), An Old member Of the state of the Maharashtra. First of all I'd like to confess - I'm not a helicopter designer nor a pilot :) I'm just an ordinary Person working for a big power company (Symantec). So, I was thinking, it would be much easier to make a good site and describe and give my knowledge to all :) My hobbies are computers, games and the Internet. Here, on my friends web page, you can find some info and photos about interesting topics. So take the knowledge and Spread it out to the World. Visit www.tgoden.com for more information

If you are really serious, visit any number of internet portals providing base level HTML coding training for free (for example http://www.echoecho.com/). If you’ve got that down, the next step is start looking at HTML code for sites / pages that you like or find interesting. HTML is still the foundation of the Web, so having a solid understanign of most of the codes and elements is essential.
Also, maker sure that you have access to some form of Bitmpap graphic editing software, such as GIMP or Adobe Photoshop. There are MANY available for free. Website are not all text, and graphics and interaction form important components.
Make sure that you understand the fundamentals of interaction and navigation, as these are fundamental to building an effective well-designed website. Once again, look at sites that you find easy using, and try and see what they did right, and how.
Like the other answers say, the best way is stick it out, get your hands dirty, and try and redo what others have done.
first of all u must be familiar with HTML
u can find many HTML e-book , pdf or online Tutorials
for example u can go to:
http://www.w3schools.com/
and read about HTML
then the best way to begin making html pages is using Microsoft Frontpage.
u can make professinal pages there.
we u became master in MS Frontpage , try to work with some more professional programs like Macromedia Dreamweaver
all of these are for generating HTML pages
but one of the most importand thing for a webdesigner is working with graphical softwares like Adobe Photoshop
for photo editing and designing nice graphics for the website
after u work with these things , u will became familiar with more things and find more options to learn
but i tried to tell to the first steps
Best regards

Try learning web design on your own. Learn Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I learned alot by surfing the net for nice websites that I want to learn how to design, save the website on your computer. Then open the html file in Dreamweaver. You will be able to see the tables and how they actually designed the website. You can also open up the images folder and look at all the graphics used. Its sort of like reverse engineering / disecting the website.
