How Anyone With Zero Knowledge Can Start Learning Website Development
How Anyone With Zero Knowledge Can Start Learning Website Development
1. Start with the Basics: HTML & CSS
These are the building blocks of any website.
- Use free sites like w3schools or freeCodeCamp
- Learn how to create pages, style them, and add simple layouts.
2. Learn JavaScript (JS)
JS makes websites interactive.
- Learn how to add clicks, animations, and pop-ups.
- Platforms: JavaScript.info, MDN Web Docs
3. Understand How the Web Works
- Learn what happens when you type a URL.
- Understand servers, domains, hosting, HTTP, and DNS.
YouTube has great explainers for this!
4. Practice by Building Simple Projects
Nothing beats hands-on learning.
Start with:
- A personal portfolio site
- A to-do list
- A landing page clone (e.g., Netflix)
5. Explore Website Builders (for fast wins)
Not ready to code everything?
Try tools like:
- WordPress
- Webflow
They help you build visually, then you can dig into the code behind it later.
6. Learn Git & GitHub
- Git = version control for your code
- GitHub = place to store and share your projects
This step will level you up fast!
7. Join Communities & Follow Creators
- Twitter, Discord, Reddit
- Follow devs sharing tips, tutorials, and resources
Surround yourself with inspiration & support.
8. Keep Building, Keep Failing, Keep Learning
The more you build, the better you get.
It’s OK to mess up — every developer does.
Start small, stay curious, and enjoy the ride
You don’t need a CS degree to start. You just need consistency.
Learn one thing a day. Build one project a month.
In 6 months, you’ll amaze yourself.
