[DUPLICATE] How to write a Website?

Question

I want to make a website soon, but I do not know what type of platforms or softwares I can write it on. So far I have only written web languages on SoloLearn's coding playground, does anyone know how I can write a real website? I will incorporate PHP, CSS, Javascript and HTML in this website.

Answer 1

The most basic way to write your page is to get an editor that suits your needs. Currently Atom, Visual Stuido Code, Sublime Text and Brackets are the most used options.

You can also use an online editor. Later you should install a web server on your computer (XAMPP is well known and has many tutorials for all platforms) that way you can use PHP.

Answer 2

All you need is your favorite text editor. I like notepad++. You write the code in there and then you save it with the proper extension...

HTML - .html or .htm
CSS - .css
PHP - .php
JS - .js

Any web browser can then interpret the code and display the webpage.

Answer 3

Oh sorry.. carry on with PHP then. ;)

Answer 4

You will need a webserver on your computer to host the code. look into wamp or lamp or xamp depending on your OS. you'll need an editor as well. notepad++ is a good one for beginners and still very well featured.

from there you'll need to publish it to an actual web server. there are free hosting sites and free domain sites out there. a simple google will find them for you.

Answer 5

I downloaded MAMP but have no idea how to work it. I need some help, thanks.

Answer 6

If you don't know any of the above mentioned languages yet, you should start with HTML and CSS. MAMP will be useful for PHP, which will require HTML and CSS. In my opinion it doesn't make much sense to start with PHP before HTML and CSS.

Answer 7

Synorax. I already know HTML and CSS

Answer 8

After HTML and css, isn’t js the next? Or it’s php

Answer 9

Abdul, SoloLearn suggests PHP because it makes HTML actually work, like forms etc. Also I need to make my website before July so I may just forget about js for a bit and work on that

Answer 10

Kyle really?
I don’t know but everyone is saying JavaScript
I’m in the same boat as you, my soccer team website has to be up as soon as possible and I only know HTML and I’m on css
