Either Web Design or Front End Web Development. The design track focuses more on aesthetics, design theory, Photoshop, etc while the front end track will give you more coding skills to add interactivity with JavaScript. Pick the one that sounds like you'd enjoy it the most and you can always fill in any knowledge gaps by taking more courses!

They both really perk my interests, However I think I would like to start with the easier one just to get a feel before jumping into the deep end... do you have any idea which one that is?

Easier depends on prior skills. If you know about for loops but don't draw much you might find the JavaScript Basics course in Front-end development track easier than the Ilustrator Basics course the Web design track.
