Designer looking into learning web dev

Hi! I want to have a deeper knowledge on building websites. I’ve been making websites for my clients for maybe 2 years now on wp, wix, and recently shopify. The thing is i know how to build them on the surface but i want to have confidence in HOW im doing it. Because im a graphic designer turned web designer turned “someone who can build a good website” lol

What courses should i take to start? I found some web development courses online will that be ok?

Start by understanding that, on the web, everything is flexible grid. Learn about responsive web design. Then dive into CSS. Since you already use WP and other platforms, you can expand your grasp by learning how to tweak existing themes with CSS and eventually can design your own themes. You can learn a bit of HTML first and as you go along.
