This post is targeted at those who wish to create their own websites from scratch (beginners-intermediate users). This guide is not intended for those with no computer background – if this is the case then I highly recommend you use an easy site builder like Wix, 1and1 or SquareSpace. This guide is intended to help those who wish to learn how to code in HTML/CSS/PHP but have no idea how to get their code online.
The advantages of building your own website opposed to using a website builder (such as Wix, 1and1, SquareSpace etc) have been covered in detail by other users. Here are a few articles/posts/links I found on the Internet which helps explain the difference between the two:
