Is anyone interested in a guide on making your own website in as few steps as possible? I think it would be cool to write such as thing and publish it on my website.
The problem I'm hoping to address is that if someone wants to make a website without depending on e.g., Wix/Squarespace/WordPress, there are great coding textbooks, but they often have more than you need to get started and feel a bit intimidating.
I could make it as a series of posts that link to each other, with a post for each component of the process so people can pick and choose. The branching options could look like, e.g.
1. Want to avoid the command line? Here's how to write just the HTML/CSS you need and drag/drop it into e.g., Netlify
2. OK with the terminal? Here's how to push to GitHub and integrate that with e.g., Netlify
3. Want to automate the repetitive parts? Here's how to add in Eleventy with the least amount of extra info
I'm still fleshing out this idea, but I'm curious what people think
