Note: This is a continuation of my last post, which focused on selecting a web hosting service and CMS. If you’re unsure of what these are, you may want to read that one first! Reminder: This is a beginner’s guide in the truest sense – it’s written not just for beginners but also by a beginner. You’ve been warned.
Beginner’s guide to making your own website, Part 1: Web hosting and CMS
Two weeks ago I decided to create a website. My reasoning? (1) I had written something that turned into a blog post and needed somewhere to put it; (2) I was about to leave my job (without another one lined up) and wanted a project; (3) I’ve never made one before so why not? But, like I said, I had no experience with web development, which makes this is a true “beginner’s guide.” Not a guide for beginners, but a guide by a beginner. You’ve been warned.
