Start with a small first website by gathering assets, writing basic code, and publishing it online.
This topic guides new web developers through building and launching a first, simple website. Because creating a professional site takes time, the focus is on starting small: gathering the needed assets, writing code for a basic webpage, and publishing it so others can view it online. It also outlines what to do before coding—planning the site’s content and design. Learners are encouraged to decide what information they will showcase and which fonts and colors they’ll use, then build the page using core web technologies: HTML for structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. Finally, once the files are organized and the code is complete, the topic explains how to put the website online with minimal effort.
