Many are interested in how to create a site from scratch for free yourself. As practice shows, it is difficult to find a resource on the network that fully reveals this topic.
Before we start the conversation, I draw your attention to the following:
- The opinion that the creation of a site is a simple task that can be quickly solved truthfully in part. With the help of various content management systems (CMS) you have created a project in a few minutes. You need to understand that deploying a site on a domain will turn out quickly, but it may take several months to fill it out.
- Some are sure that creating a website is not easy. This view has the right to life. It all depends on the type of project. If we are talking about a simple resource, it will take a little time and effort to create. When it comes to a serious project, everything changes dramatically.
Even a schoolboy can create his own resource. But, if you want to become a true professional in this field, you will have to work hard. Start by learning programming languages and mastering special software.
- “HTML” is the foundation. Be sure to master this language. He is the starting point on the path to success.
- “CSS”. Surely you've heard of design. Without CSS, design is unthinkable.
- “JavaScript”. With the help of this language they write a variety of scripts, dynamic and beautiful projects.
- “PHP”. There are many examples of using PHP. Scripts for registering users, receiving and processing information from forms, searching the portal, and entire CMS are written on it.
- “MySQL.” Database software.
- “XML”. It is not directly related to the development of sites. It is focused on the implementation of complex corporate networks.
To speed up the process, you can use the popular content management system. After that, it remains to place the resource on the network and conduct promotion.
