Places to Create Your Own Site
Creating a website of your own is a great way to learn–and it is just fun to own a piece of the internet! Here are options with free accounts that are good for learning:
- WordPress - the worlds most popular Content Management System, originally designed to create blogs, WordPress now powers more than 40% of the web. Getting to know WordPress is definitely a good transferrable skill to add to your resume. It is relatively easy to get started (you won’t have to write code) and has a powerful theme system.
- W3Schools Spaces - create simple static sites in your browser, integrated into a learning platform.
- GitHub Pages - the popular code repository service GitHub provides free static hosting. This great if you use GitHub or want to share or collaborate on your code. Learn more in the Go Go GH-Pages workshop.
