I'm currently writing a free online course on how to make your own website for completely free. You obviously don't get your own domain but it's just how to get set one up (Change DNS to connect/FTP/Cpanel/etc) and other stuff and was wondering what kind of stuff helps you learn? I'm writing it because my friends have been asking me for YEARS to either make them a website or teach them and I don't have time to meet up each individual person and go through it. Plus it's kinda longgg. So I'm going to do a couple of recordings of a longish course and send them over and was wondering if anyone else in the world wanted to learn to?

I have a couple of questions if anyone could reply would be super fantastic!

For those who want to learn how to make a website
- Why do you want to make a website?
- Do you want to learn HTML/CSS (coding) or do you want to learn how to get a website live
- Do you want to learn how to design it too or are you just interested in getting one online
- What way do you learn best? If you can;t think..thnk of the last new thing you learnt and what method was it? ; video, tutorial, article, verbally, just getting stuck in, going to a workshop?

For those have websites already
- Did you code it yourself?
- What CMS/platform/framework did you use if you didnt code it
- Do you intend on learning how to code
- How did you learn how to do it
- What is it for?

Any help super grateful :j:j:j

HTML is easy to learn.

I used to run the website of a company I worked for previously, it was just basically a bodged content management system which I tacked together quickly. It was crude, it was fundamental (hopefully secure, but it didn't do anything apart from load page portions) but it worked. Had to bodge it on occasion when the server software was updated but it worked and I've just checked, its still working today.

I already knew HTML because I'd been doing it since 2000, just found online tutorials at the time and then just did it.

HTML has had things tacked onto it over the years but the basic principle is its backwards compatibility, so:

<b>Bold Text</b>
<i>Italic text</i>

Will work in any (graphic) browser, though this is not the recommended way to do it these days. But it works.

That's all HTML is in a nutshell, wrap key letters or codes in brackets (<>) and see what happens.

Thanks for your response!

Online tutorials in form of videos/articles? I guess most people do it when they need it like you having to run a website made you learn!

Yeah its tricky as HTML5 has made things a lot more organised. Old code still works and it stays the same otherwise.
