Help! I need to make the website for business as fast as possible within 1 mth! Which courses do I have to start with?

Since I don't have time to start many courses, so they told me to find the template in the website like themeforest, templatemonster.

Then, I go there and I still don't know what I have to do after I find the right template! how to adapt any changes!

So I really need help cuz I have to finish within a month. (after the website is launched, I can prepare and learn for website improvement but now need website existence)

hey Dotoria Corny , if you really need a website in less than a month then you may want to take the Wordpress tracks. Generally speaking with wordpress (or any other CMS) you get a solid foundation that is already working out-of-the-box and doesn't require too much coding (if any at all, depending on your site requirements) and can be extended with lots of plugins for even bigger functionality.

hope that helps and have a nice day ;)

What requirements does the website have (This would be important to what you are going to need to learn)?

  1. Will it require a content management system?
  2. Is it eCommerce?
  3. Who is the audience?
  4. Etc etc?

Essential skills are going to be HTML / CSS, do the webdesign track. https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/web-design

Without knowing HTML and CSS you are going to struggle with most web design concepts even in premade templates from themeforest etc.

If you are going to be using Themeforest themes it is most likely you are going to need to know a bit about Wordpress.. mainly how to set it up and modify it as 90% of themes on Themeforest and likewise websites are Wordpress based. Track: https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/wordpress-development

If you are going to need a content management system etc Wordpress is probably going to be your fastest and easiest way without having to extensively learn backend web programming like PHP, Ruby and database structures like mySQL.

eCommerce should be fairly easy to set up with HTML and CSS knowledge as there is a lot of premade platforms out there like Shopify etc.

Is there any other special requirements the website will need, I can try and help you find the right track or information for it.

But regardless of all the above your going to need a basic understanding of HTML or CSS.

Thank you for your suggestion, it helps me a lot! Actually now I'm tracking web design course and I'll track wordpress development following your suggestion.

So I will try to finish web design and wordpress development, it would be nice if I know more HTML and CSS which I still don't get used to it.

Thanks.
