I found the following website:

What more can I write?

http://www.w3c.org has all the tools, and even free tutorials if you really must learn this stuff.

Learning web design.

The answer is yes and no. It depends on what you want to do with the web site. Also the software you are using to build it with. There are programs that are simple to learn out there. But it really depends on you. I am a newbie also. I read all I can. I may try to take a class or two at my local college. But there are 12 year olds that have great sites.
