Website Basics
In this first stage, we'll learn about HTML and CSS, which are the building blocks of every website.

Text Editors and HTML
One of the primary tools that web designers and developers use all the time is called a text editor. We'll use a text editor to write our HTML code, which will describe the structure of our content.

Creating a Website Structure

Launching the Website
Now that we're finished coding our website, it's time to deploy it live to the web. This involves several steps, including purchasing a domain and hosting. Then, we'll use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to put our files onto our server.
