How to build a Website

A small guide on getting your feets wet in the wet and wild web.

How to begin

First of all, you should start of with learning the basics of html and css. Afterwards a bit of javascript to polish your things. There are a lot of tutorials and guides in the internet.

With those skills you will be able to write your first webpage.

Iterate

The important part is knowing that nothing will ever be perfect. Sometimes you are fine with it and sometimes it just looks horrible. If you repeat the process of starting a new project you will get better. Or you can just improve your old project, move code around and find some good style that way.

Static-Site-Builder

I think most that read a tutorial on how to build a webpage start of with a free static site host like https://nekoweb.org or https://neocities.org. There are a lot of people that go directly for SSR but that is a bit more of a fast entry.

I use Astro. It lets me write Blog entries in markdown, webpages in jsx and html. It builds into html structures like most SSBs and is compatible with a lot of frameworks if i ever need one.

GIT & Continuous integration

A versioning tool will help you if you ever want to go back to the code you wrote a day ago. Especially helpful if you done some irreversable changes. See it as backups for your code. You can aditionally put those on GitHub or some other Repository Server, that way you can give others links to your code.

Continuous integration is nice if you want to sync your changes with your Repository.
