What programming languages should I learn for being a successful web designer?

So I wish to build websites for companies, create online stores, blogs…just about any type of website a regular web designer could create for his customers.
Please tell me what programming languages should I learn for making good looking websites.
How long would it take to achieve this?

    IMainly to make a website Learn first HTML
    Then for advanced websites learn PHP
    you can find tutorials in this website
    www.w3schools.com

    and of course you will need a server
    you can get a free server and practice using it
    www.110mb.com

    and to make a good looking site get a ready made template
    then edit it as you like
    to get ready made templates
    google "Free CSS templates"

    If you need any help feel free to contact me =)

    You need an eye for design, first of all, and you need to understand the basics of print layout. If you don’t get these fundamentals, programming skills won’t do you any good.

    Basic language you have to know is HTML,CSS and Javascript

    you can build a website or blog on HTML itself. and its easy
