Three steps to building a website:

1. Planning

  • What is the purpose?
  • What kind of feautures do we want?
  • How long for each phase?
  • what do we want the front end to look like
  • what kind of processes and data do we want to store
  • Split the roles of the project

2. Building

  • Front end
    • build functions that correctly fetch to API endpoints in the backend
    • have a consistent and appealing theme
  • Back End
    • make APIs and Models
      • APIs act when fetched upon by the front end fetch functions
      • Models are used to store categories of data in the back end, connected with API

3. Deployment

  • Deploy pages and make the site official

install tools

  • make a github account(do not use an email managed by school)
  • reference this website made by my teacher, this will get you started on the tools and necessary apps
