Best way to learn website development?

There is not best way. Just do it. freelancer dot com is a good start. But this is just an example among many other good sources.
 
You should know about php and css at intermediate level. Unfortunately.

Ready add-ons and themes can solve your business maybe. But you can never develop.
 
Learn Web Development by building 25 websites and mobile apps using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Python, MySQL and other technologies.
Also, read some web development books for beginners, watch videos on youtube, attend free online courses and read relevant articles.
 
But I would recommend you to turn to professional

Start with word press, while you make websites you'll use some custom Css code naturslly to get different functions. And you will get a feel for web design. It's a great start. Then find some good ways to start out. From YouTube and code academy is good.

But depending in what you want to do. You can almost always find what you want now in scripts and other methods.
 
I started out as a script kiddie, trial and error and everything else...

Did my formal studying/training after 5 years as I took Comp Sci IT and graduated after 2 years as I have already finished other minor subjects when I took and graduated BS Pharmacy.
 
I started off editing other people’s code and over time picked up more and more ways to add my custom bits and eventually just started my own projects from scratch.
 
Best way? first of all explore youtube before you go to sleep with your phone; find someone that you understand best and learn the basics.
When you have the basics knowledge Explore udemy and search for a good course.
It should be very achievable skill.
Goodluck!
 
you can just go through freeCodingCamp course, quite fast, most importantly learn the basic flow of javascript, and how objects work,
read MDN documentation, especially .filter .map .reduce and choose framework such as React, with Redux or MobX for easy storages for state.

And then try to create your own prototype of an app/game whatever you want, it's important to do your own thing so you learn as you go.
Following tutorials after one another can make you stuck for too long. It's best to try your own ideas.

Edit: or as someone mentioned, read other people projects after you get the basics. Also try to learn ES6 Javascript as it's most used these days.
Most tutorials on the internet use ES5 which is a little bit outdated in the front-end jobs right now
 
The number of options is so vast, it's actually really hard to choose from. Most courses will serve. Most people start with something like the Colt Steele udemy course.
 
I downloaded torrents with projects in HTML, CSS, and JS. From there you decide what path you wanna follow.
 
there are a ton of videos online now days. You can go watch a few of them and then go out and mess up a site. I used to buy templates back in the day and then take them apart to see what all they did and why.
 
Best advice is to download the programming language documentation and ensure you read all of it. If you are using windows download (zeal doc). Is a software that helps in managing documentation in most programming language.
 
Setup your environment where you can play then check youtube or any tutorials and try to replicate it, try different ways of implementation. You need to get your hands dirty. :)
 
You can use by looking how the internet works and how the web programming languages speak between them.
Learn what is a client and a server, learn what is inside a PC, learn the difference between high programming languages and the one's that are in the bottom.

A good place to start for me is: pluralsight
 
Lot's of ways. How I start is, I was readings other peoples code, either on github or from existing scripts being sold online. Before coding, I used to buy the scripts and all, so I started reading and tried to implement stuff.
However, best, and free option is to read the stuff on Github, it helps, really.
 
The problem I see with a lot of courses is they teach you the basics of coding, but not how to actually make anything.

Here's what I'd do, if I was doing it over again (started ten years ago):

1. Pick a tech stack. Maybe use Bootstrap 4 for CSS, jQuery for javascript, Wordpress for your CMS, and Local by Flywheel to run it locally.

2. Find a YouTube channel talking about setting up Wordpress sites. When you get to the CSS, read the Boostrap 4 docs and watch some videos on that.

3. If you get stumped actually writing the code, now go and do one of the free coding courses recommended in the thread - the things you learn will actually make sense, and be applicable.

4. Now that you've finished all 3, you know how to actually make something actually useful in the real world - not writing stupid little snippets or unmaintainable basic HTML sites like courses tend to push.
 
Forums, tutorials, YouTube, SkillShare, Codeacademy....there are so many platforms and resources available. Best first step is to start writing code and experimenting.
 
Start with an idea for a website and try building it, use google as you go along. That is the way I learned and now I create websites for a Fortune 500 company full time.
