Web designer
When I started in a new job with AT&T, one of my new colleagues asked if I would be interested in being his backup as webmaster for the CIS (Corporate Information Security) web site. Sure! I didn't know any HTML or anything about web programming and design, but I learned by doing. I got books on basic HTML, style sheets, color for the web, etc. I learned how to make basic changes in the existing web pages and eventually started making up new pages.
When the time came to create a tool for training employees on how to do data classification, I created a set of web pages that trained on the basics, had a series of questions at the ends of sections (complete with cute audio clips played when you got something right or wrong) and ended with a checklist tool that would tell the user what the classification was from checked criteria on the form.
When I wanted to put up a web site for my jewelry business, I just started from a blank page, some graphics files, some backgrounds or color selections and voila! The Artisans at Mooseworks web site. (OK, not quite voila! more like several weeks of work to get it all together.) It's been redesigned once now and continues to evolve.
