Introduction
In this book you’ll learn the fundamental concepts that go into building a website. We’ll discuss the basics of HTML, CSS, and WordPress. By the time you’re finished, you will have everything you need to launch your very own website. One little book can’t teach you everything about developing websites, though. Learning is a process, and I hope that this book is a helpful beginning on your journey to becoming a web guru. It’s up to you to do the exercises and to make sure you get the practice you’ll need. This book takes the “learn by doing” approach. You’ll need a couple of things on your own computer to follow along.
Build Your Own Website is a fun, illustrated introduction to the basics of creating a website. Join Kim and her little dog Tofu as she learns HTML, the language of web pages, and CSS, the language used to style web pages, from the Web Guru and Glinda, the Good Witch of CSS. Once she figures out the basics, Kim travels to WordPress City to build her first website, with Wendy, the WordPress Maven, at her side. They take control of WordPress themes, install useful plugins, and more.
As you follow along, you’ll learn how to:
+ Use HTML tags
+ Make your site shine with CSS
+ Customize WordPress to fit your needs
+ Choose a company to host your site and get advice on picking a good domain name
