a guide to conceiving, creating & publishing your own website

Know what you want to express

To make a website, you first need to have something to put on it, or else you might end up with a skeleton and nothing to look at. This won't satisfy you or your visitors.

Is there something you do, are, or love that you would like to share? Do you have writing or art sitting around that you would love to share? Maybe you need a place to put your thoughts that isn't a Discord server?

Maybe you want to create an "about" page, or catalogue a collection of yours, or just experiment with code.

The first step in making something is to have a clear idea of what you want. You cannot make a painting, a game or a machine without at least a vague plan, after all.

When you have this clear idea, then you can get to the fun part: working to make it a reality.
