Publish your web site

You can create a web site for free very easily with a number of tools. Each of these is great for projects, experiments, micro-sites.

We will look at Glitch, Netlify and Github.

Glitch.com

Glitch is a web based web creation tool. The advantage of Glitch is that you can immediately start coding without downloading anything. It works entirely in the web browser.

Glitch allows you to Remix projects - i.e. clone them and modify. You can change the random url it gives you and even link your own url to the project.

Netlify

Netlify is a service that hosts web sites and does a lot of smart stuff besides. The really attractive thing about it for getting any kind of site on line is that you can simply drag and drop a zip or folder onto it to make it live.

Glitch has some great tools to customise, or add your own URL.

Have a look at the video on how to use it.

Github

Github is where almost every website stores their code (plus every other bit of code for apps and more). It is completely free for personal use and if you want to get into coding its really worth knowing about. Github's primary purpose is to store every change you ever make to your code and help you manage projects.
