Hello beautiful sololearners!
I am new to building websites, I am looking to start my first next week.
What is your advice, suggestions, and/or tips?
Best learning resources?

Thank you for thinking with me!

Answer 1

One very useful thing when building websites is knowing how to make it compatible with all devices and screen sizes. This can be a little difficult to do, but there are techniques that make it incredibly easy.
A very new method for making responsive websites is a method known as CSS grid, a style that makes everything about your website dependent on a grid-based system. Although it is quite a new system, it is very powerful and should definitely be used by more developers. I would recommend checking out W3School's lesson on it as they explain it quite well - https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_grid.asp.
Another technique that you can use alongside the grid system is the media query. This type of query will allow for different elements to be changed depending on the width of the device viewing the website, making it very useful in trying to make your website responsive. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
(Here's a link to my website that uses both techniques - http://mentalsupport.ca)

First of all learn html then go for css. Then for making your website more user-freindly learn php and javascript.
And the knowledge of SQL is also needed.
You can get many resources from Sololearn only, but you can also go for youtube as bunch of free tutorials are available there.
