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?

Skip general web dev courses and study theme development documentation for the platforms you already use. Learning Liquid for Shopify or PHP for WordPress gives you direct control over your existing projects without forcing a full stack curriculum that ignores your design background
