Introduction
There are different ways to build websites. You use different building
materials for different purposes.
In this workshop, I'm going to show you how to use HTML and CSS, which
is just one way to build websites. (Feel free to learn JS on your own.)
What’s cool about HTML & CSS is that these are the building blocks of
the web no matter what. You can “view source” on any website and see it
boils down to HTML & CSS generally speaking, no matter if you made it in
SquareSpace, Wordpress, or any other website builder.
GitHub Pages for Hosting

GitHub is a code versioning and
storage platform that also provides a free hosting service for static
websites under a certain size (1GB) called "GitHub Pages." GitHub will
give you a URL to host your website based on your GitHub username and
repository, for example: https://myusername.github.io/myrepositoryname.
GitHub pages also optionally lets you connect a custom domain name to
your repository — and that's how this very website (banweblearning.net)
is working!
