The answer to that question is yes, it is possible. However, the circumstance that will allow that will be a very severe one. For instance, any Nigerian youth dedicated to learning web design for free purely from the free materials that the Internet provide should be willing to spend at least 4 - 5 hours daily studying and reading information that will help him to accomplish that.
He should be able to do this for at least 3 - 9 months depending on the learning speed of that individual before he will start designing good websites.
To get free online tutorials from many web design sites, do a search on Google with the keyword; free web design tutorial, and the search engine will return various links to all the available listed online tutorial you can access for free.
The other side to it will be through learning from web design experts on the Internet, this can be the quickest ways, but you will not be going through the rigorous activities that these people went through. You will learn exactly what to do to make it work for you.
The only downside to is that, while these experts will give away most of the information free, premium members will get a higher quality training and tutorial and they will demand a little training fee.
Usually these open the way to get a direct one on one email consultation and tutoring from these experts. One of such services is listed here: http://www.minisitewebdesign.com
Other ways you can learn web designing is by using free templates that many others have used or using a cheap software to create some low quality websites. Beside these methods, the fastest route to web development training within few days is through learning from online newsletters as discussed above.
