I want to learn something (a language or module) which will help me design websites.
I am not sure whether it is html; flash or else.

This has to be integerable to drupal!

I will be using it primarily for my own drupal site

Have you made any site in drupal? Please do pass me the address.

Regards,

Ali

Drupal outputs html (the site structure) and uses css for styling (the look).

I would suggest starting by getting familiar with Drupal and understanding how it works and what you can do to put a site together using core, contributed modules and maybe a theme from the download area.

For greater control over the site you will need to understand html and css.

In the end those these are just tools for building a website, for learning how to design a website there are both online resources and books.

Thank you!

I have made a website, I want to improve its look.
My presice learning direction is to modify themes (in terms of layout areas (size & shapess, colours of fonts & backgrounds etc).

However I want to learn CSS & HTML in line with drupal developments.
So in the end I am able to customize any theme or maybe make new themes for drupal

A friend also suggested dream weaver.

Can you kindly specify the general order (HTML followed by CSS followed by Dream weaver or all simulataneously).

Any help is welcomed!

Regards,
Ali

I would suggest CSS first followed by HTML. I would not recommend Dreamweaver for editing Drupal themes if you do not already know it (it can be done, it can also get you in trouble)
