Well man you should start the basics first. Learn HTML first of all.W3Schools have a very good and basic tutorial on HTML.. read it out and get the basic understandings.

First, you will need to make sure you understand the different fields associated with this. At the very least, there are:a.) web designersb.) graphic designersc.) web developersd.) multimedia specialistA web designer is one who determines the layout and navigation - the overall structure and how everything fits together. The graphic designer is the one who creates the images from what the web designer envisions. A developer is the one who works in the code, creating the applications needed to make the vision. The multimedia deals with any audio, video, and animation requirements.Which ever route you go, there is a path to follow through school. You are either visually creative and therefore most likely to be a web designer, graphic designer, or multimedia specialst or you are more detail oriented and analitical which would put you down the web developer path.Jobs range from an entry level position like a content manager all the way up to an internet marketing manager. With most jobs, a two year degree will keep you in lower paying entry level job. A four year degree will put you in the middle of the road and a graduate degree will get you near the top.If you need any more information - go to your career counselor at school, they wil be able to help you with more specifics.

1. how long do i have to study to be a web designer?That all depends on how fast of a learner you are and how much time you devote to it.2. do i have to take a university course or sth lyk tt? if yes...how long?See Skemcin's answer.3. do i need some basic requirements to be a web-designer?if yes.. wat is it?There is a quote that says, you know you are "Fill-in-the-blank" when a "Fill-in-the-blank" calls you one. In this case, you will be a web designer when a web designer calls you one. 4. will i do well by working as a web-designer?I don't think any of us know you well enough to tell you that, but if you want to be one, then you should. It is as simple as that.5. what other jobs is it available other than being a web-designer?See Skemcin's Answer again.Now for my own personal un-asked for suggestion:I would also suggest doing websites on the side for friends/family. That way you can gain some experience, decide which path you want to take (design/develop/etc.) and it will also allow you to show more examples of your work when you try to obtain a job in this field.Best of luck as you venture into this area.
