Starting to Code? These Website Tools Might Help

- Neocities.org

- HTML5-Editor.Net

- HTMLCheatSheet.com/css/

Neocities 

A free hosting site, with an HTML editor and viewing option is hard to come by. For some purposes, your site might need more flare, and client options. For a profile, portfolio, blog and contacts/link page; simple coding is all that is needed. Create a site as easily as signing up with an email, site name and password.

Pros - Incredibly customizable, free webpages, optional Bots. Store files for indexing.

Cons - For free you only have 1gb of host storage, so large high quality media files may be limited. (Vimeo is a great way to share your video library). For free, neocities.org url.

HTML-5Editor.Net 

What is so helpful about HTML-5Editor is that it allows a web developer the HTML code editor, next to a Word document like preview. While Neocities offers tutorials (which I suggest). Seeing the code represented is helpful in learning it. (For me I will write it out once I know it for short lines)

HTML Cheat Sheet 

You may need to style further than what HTML allows. That is where CSS, style sheets become useful. HTML Cheat Sheet's webpage has common codes, and generators for fonts and colors, and allows the user to create customer website assets.

Then, copy over the codes to the style sheet, and html code to the html editor (to reference the style guide).

Lastly, 

Comprehension toward website development is common. It can be expensive with little affordances, or complicated for novice coders. Some people struggle with the repetitive nature of writing code, and language learning can seem insurmountable.

The tools provided are to help with some of these concerns.
