Send A Completed Website

I Want To Send A Copy Of The Completed Website (With A True View), So That The Completed Work Can Be Seen. What Is The Best Way To Do That???

Who do you want the website seen by?

Are you talking about having the website hosted so it can be visited by anyone on the internet?

Traditionally websites are hosted on publically accessible web servers, if the site isn't public yet you put it behind a login prompt. If it's fairly simple website HTML/CSS/JS no backend code then you can zip up all the files and send/upload them.

I Tried A Zip File And The Background Elements Were Missing And The Pages Were Not Working

Sounds like you were using absolute instead of relative paths. No Wordpress or PHP is there?

No, Maybe I Did Something Wrong

My guess would be either you forgot some files or you were using absolute paths which won't work which is why starting with relative paths always makes things easier.

Do you know the difference between an absolute vs relative path? Have you check your CSS to make sure you are using relative URLs for nay background images.
