WEBSITE BUILDING

WEBSITE BUILDING

Website building involves creating a presence on the internet, either from scratch or using website builders. Website builders are tools that allow users to create and design websites without needing to write code, using drag-and-drop interfaces and pre-designed templates. Alternatively, building a website from scratch involves defining the site’s purpose, choosing a platform, registering a domain, selecting hosting, building the site structure, creating content, and testing before publishing.
