Simple personal website theme

This is a simple website template for a TechWomen alumni webinar.

This is a very barebones repo to help people get up and running with a personal landing page site while learning the fundamentals of building a basic webpage.

Getting Started

What to do with this repository

If you are brand new to GitHub you may want to go through the GitHub guides.

Here are the steps if you want to play around or use this as a base for your own website:

  1. Read about GitHub pages as a way to host your website and clone or fork this repository. Or you can just copy/paste what you need (I won't judge).
  2. After forking/copying this repository start by modifying the website inside GitHub. You can also try making changes in the command line which is a more typical development workflow.
  3. Some common changes you may want to make:
    • Changing the text in index.html to add your information/links
    • Adding a favicon and profile image
    • Changing the appearance of the site with CSS and/or Bootstrap classes
  4. To preview the changes you have made, you can paste the GitHub url of your index.html page into html preview
  5. When you are ready to make your website public, set your master branch to be the publishing source of the website

Domain names

  1. What is a domain name
  2. Places to buy a domain name (it's a good idea to opt in/pay extra to keep your info private):
  3. How to associate domain names with GitHub pages

Resources for building a webpage

There are sooo many online resources you can find and things go out of date quickly. So here are some very basic docs that I'm fairly confident will stay up to date.

  1. Web literacy
  2. Intro to HTML
  3. Intro to CSS
  4. Intro to Git
  5. What is SEO
  6. Accessibility

Other ways to host a personal website

These options cost more but are more powerful/flexible and easier to get up and running.

  1. https://www.dreamhost.com
  2. https://www.bluehost.com
  3. https://www.squarespace.com
  4. https://www.wix.com

If you want a blog style website and/or a fancier theme on GitHub pages, you can also look into Jekyll.
