I was interested in web design, and have been thinking of trying it out. What would that class allow me to do once I am finished. Will it give me the skill and training to design a decent website? Or do you have to take additional advanced classes to do much with it?
I plan on creating a website in the near future. I understand basic HTML but I know that doesn’t get me very far. So my idea was to take some web design classes and go from there. Help! Thank you!

Web Design isnt a major, though you can take a course on it.
Basically, it is just HTML, MySQL, and DataSocket.
The latter 2 deal with setting up servers.

Web design classes will teach you how to use XHTML and CSS to create static web pages. This will provide the structure you will need to create any site. If you are a good graphic artist and can create backgrounds and headers, then you will be able to design nice web pages.
To learn dynamic programming languages like .php, .asp, javascript or things like flash and actionscript additional courses are available both at tech schools, universities, and there are a million free tutorials online that can teach these languages as well as familiarize yourself with open source programs.
