Creating a Website - Which way to go?

I'm working on a website for my Mother in law for her personal business. Her current website was created using wordpress. I'm still learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but I know enough that I made her a really nice website. But I made her new site from scratch in Sublime Text (for learning purposes). Is there a way I can let her use that website and she can then update it easily if she needs too, or should I take the design and try to match it the best I can with wordpress? I don't really know wordpress yet, but I've watched a few videos on it. Any information would be really helpful!

Thanks, Mike

HI, Well, it's very very very hard to tell, what kind of website you are talking about. I don't know if users will need to log in in the WP site, or maybe it's just a simple display information only. I don't know the complexity of the site you want to build. Her website uses a technology WordPress which makes the content dynamic to manage. The website was made probably with HTML, CSS some JS and WordPress on top of it.

So the first step is to know HTML and CSS. Make it i suppose, resposnive. Once the visual effect are finished, then you can probably go into WordPress.

WordPress, in terms of very basics stuff, is relativelly easy if you look here on treehouse track. I learned basic stuff here in two weeks. But that's me , this is the site i made after two weeks or so of learning , i must say, the code isn't the best, but it wrks lol.

I mean, it's very hard to tell, need more information on this.
