1. Start With a Simple Website Builder.

The easiest way to begin is to choose a site-building tool designed for beginners. I found a good tool, which is a simple and good website builder that lets you:

  • Add text and images easily
  • Choose ready‑made layouts
  • Build pages without coding
  • Publish your site with a few clicks

If you want to try it out, I have a Sitebuilder Demo video on the Simple Web Start Classroom Hub, which is a great place to explore how pages work before you build your real site or spend any money.
