🎯 What You'll Build

🕒 Time Estimate

Complete beginner: 4-6 hours over 2-3 sessions
Some computer experience: 2-3 hours in one session

1Project Setup & File Structure

First, we'll create the foundation - organizing files and folders like a professional developer.

my-website/ ├── index.html (main page) ├── about.html (about page) ├── contact.html (contact page) ├── css/ │ └── styles.css (styling) ├── js/ │ └── script.js (interactivity) └── images/ └── (your photos)

Action Steps:

  1. Create a new folder called "my-website" on your desktop
  2. Open VS Code and use "Open Folder" to open your new folder
  3. Create the files and folders shown above
  4. Install the "Live Server" extension if you haven't already

    

  


  

    
2Create Your First HTML Page

    
HTML is the skeleton of your website - it defines the structure and content. We'll use AI to generate a professional starting template.

    
    

      
      
      

    


    

      
💡 HTML Pro Tip

      
Copy the generated HTML code into your index.html file. Use Ctrl+S to save, then right-click the file and select "Open with Live Server" to see your page in the browser instantly!

    

  


  

    
3Style with CSS

    
CSS is what makes your website look beautiful. We'll create modern, responsive styles that work on all devices.

    
    

/* Pro tip: Always start with these basics in your CSS file */
* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;
    line-height: 1.6;
}
    


    

      
      
      

    


    

      
🎨 CSS Pro Tip

      
Save the generated CSS in your css/styles.css file. Make sure your HTML file links to it with: <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css"> in the head section.

    

  


  

    
4Add Interactivity with JavaScript

    
JavaScript brings your website to life with interactive features like smooth scrolling, form validation, and dynamic content.

    
    

      
      
      

    


    

      
⚡ JavaScript Pro Tip

      
Save the generated code in js/script.js and link it before the closing body tag: <script src="js/script.js"></script>. Test each feature as you add it!

    

  


  

    
5Create Additional Pages

    
Most websites need multiple pages. We'll create About, Contact, and any other pages your site needs.

    
    

      
      
      

    

  


  

    
6Test & Debug

    
Before launching, we need to test everything works perfectly across different devices and browsers.
