How To Create Personal Website?

How do I create a personal website?

  • I would like to design and code a personal website and I see a lot of people with personal websites like the following: http://www.omidelliyoun.com/ http://cargocollective.com/harrisondaniels http://vickygaoyuan.com/ Are these hand-coded from scratch or do they use some sort of site-building software?  So far I have just been manually hand-coding with HTML, CSS, and JS files what else am I missing to make polished-looking websites like the examples above?

  • Answer:

    A basic website is nothing special, it's just a document. There are some good wysiwyg editors out there so you don't even need to know how to code, even some word processors will save as a webpage, also some site like wix.com are easy to usehttp://www.serif.com/WYSIWYGSoftware Start with the basic's then if you want to expand into coding you can later.

I built mine from scratch, more or less. I used Twitter bootstrap for the layout and built it using NodeJS , but I consider that "from scratch".It took me an hour to get the basics in place (but I know what I'm doing), it took a weekend to get the visual theme to be exactly what I wanted, including CSS, animated text, etc.https://neilmunro.herokuapp.comSo yeah, built it without WYSIWYG tools. Which considering the whole point is to demonstrate my technical skills, I figured it was advantageous to write it myself.

Hey there,You can use https://www.codecademy.com/ and do a course, by the end of the course you will have a website.Cheers,Radu

First, you can tell if those sites (and any you visit) used special tools by calling on your browser’s “View Source” capability.And, by exploring the source of sites you wish to emulate you will learn a whole lot.In the days when “The Internet” was young, that is how most of us learned HTML. Today you can also get a good handle on CSS the same way. In the HTML source you will see the reference to the supporting files (CSS and Javascript). Just point your browser to those paths (URL) and voila!!Congratulations on your first adventure in “reverse-engineering”.

Use this tool next time: https://builtwith.com . Just paste in the URL of the site and you can get some decent information on the content management system, DNS, servers, etc. http://omidelliyoun.com: This one was probably hand-coded, since I haven’t detected any content management system. http://cargocollective.com/harrisondaniels: This site is built with http://cargocollective.com/. http://VICKYGAOYUAN.COM: Also probably custom coded. Since you are just looking for a personal website, there are a couple things you can do. http://squarespace.com (I think everyone saw this one coming) http://dunked.com/ https://fabrik.io/ (My favorite one, love the design) And no, I am not affiliated with any of the sites mentioned above.

hello, there are many ways to create  personal website, but as of now we have created an online application for this, here you can simple register yourself , you can book your domain name, and then you'll be redirect into your control panel, on that you only have to enter your details into it, like when did you pass out your graduation, what more education qualification you have, how's your portfolio, your interest, hobby, your all social media account integration, and lots more.... you can find our website http://www.TechnoFolio.inand go on with the process.

You can use Wix: http://wix.com

This depends on how much time you want to put into it and how well you learn. You can create a website on http://wix.com and many other site builders for a quick and dirty web space. Or you can learn to create one in adobe muse or dream weaver. Here you can host it on a host platform like http://oneandone.com or go http://daddy.com. With this road you can completely tailor your site to how you want it but may take awhile. Third option is to contact a web designer and have them do it. If you don't have the artistic skills this is probably the fastest and most prefered for a stunning clean site. This will cost from $500-1500 for a general 1-5 page site with no e-commerce. Good luck!

The first site is WordPress based.  The second site is built on a platform called Cargo. The third is built on top of Bootstrap but I can't figure out if it was a site builder or CMS based. All three make good use of current technologies and have a professional look.

Define website. A blog , Photogallery or just a file dump? Just a blog that you don't want to maintain. Try https://ghost.org/.
