You want to build a website, but tutorials from 2018 tell you to use WordPress and FTP. The web has moved on. Here is exactly how to build a website from scratch, for free, using the exact tools Silicon Valley engineers use today.
HTML is the skeleton. Do not just use divs everywhere. Use main, article, section, and nav. Search engines love semantics.
Stop writing monolithic CSS files. Learn CSS Grid for layouts, Flexbox for alignment, and utility classes (like Tailwind) for speed. Implement a dark mode via CSS variables.
Learn how to select elements, listen for clicks, and manipulate the DOM using modern vanilla JS (ES6+). Forget jQuery.
Once you know JS, learn React. Extract your UI into reusable components. Manage state efficiently using Hooks.
You do not need to rent a Linux server. Use Firebase or Supabase for instant database access and user authentication (Google Login) directly from your frontend.
Commit your code to GitHub. Connect your repository to Vercel or Cloudflare Pages. Now, every time you press push, your global website instantly updates online for free.
