In my last post I discussed the idea of making a website before I would feel ready to print official business cards. There are a few ways that I could go about creating a website for my crafting business. I could use a template based website creator such as Wix, Canva, or Weebly that has free to use templates as well as upgrades that cost extra. Or, I could learn web development and coding to create my own unique website. The idea of learning to code, and the fears that I had associated with that are talked about in one of my reflection blog posts, but coding is not something that I feel confident in trying. The only experience I have in coding so far is from the website Scratch, which is super fun to use, but not something that is advanced enough to help with web design. I do believe Scratch has different sites for different levels of coding knowledge, so there may in fact be something useful on one of those sites that I could look into further.
In researching online how I could even get started in this process, I came across this video by a content creator named Coder Coder. They have so many helpful videos that guide you through all of the different aspects of learning to code, creating websites, and other helpful topics surrounding coding. I wanted to share this video as a helpful tool for myself to remember, as well as anyone else who wants to start their journey into coding to create a website, or just to learn the basics around coding. The video I chose above discusses how to code from the front end, and the back end of web design. Through more research, I found that this creator actually has their own website/blog that they plan to offer a course on to help you learn how to build your own working website.
