I intend to install a front page on 'darraghkenny.ie' -while I do some testing darraghkenny.ie/alpha/. I would like to do a simple one in html/css so I can have some practice editing a live site while I use the darraghkenny.ie/alpha/ to build a wordpress site. Within File manager in Hostgator control panel, I can see the 'alpha' and 'cgi-bin' folders. Should I just create html and css files here to get started or is this a big mistake?

(I know the question is broad so if there is a some reading required I would also appreciate a link to a suitable tutorial).

Thanks

  1. In HostGator all your website content should go in public_html
  2. I recomend organizing you website resources, something like:

--public_html
----index.html
----pages
--------page1.html
--------page2.html
----css
--------css1.css
--------css2.css
----js
--------js1.js
--------js2.js

  1. Start Reading

There are millions of tutorials regarding html,css,js for you to get started, just Google it! you'll see that UPLOADING webpages to your website is a piece of cake.

BTW: HostGator has a couple of tutorials for you to understand where you website resources should be placed (public_html).

Good luck!

  • Thanks Esteban, I have been building locally for a while but was a bit paranoid to start on the big bad web. Got started now, thanks a mill. – Daniel Garland Dec 31 '15 at 20:14
