Choose the right platform, If you want to build a good, mobile friendly and functional website quickly, youll need to choose a platform (also known as content management system). What do I mean by content management system? Well, back in 2004 when I got started with web development, most sites were built using HTML (code), CSS and even Flash. These took a lot of time to learn and were tricky to master. Thats why most people still think creating a website from scratch is difficult or requires a lot of coding and design skills but thats no longer true. In 2018, content management systems (CMS) like WordPress have made creating a website accessible to everyone. To put simply, a content management system (or website building platform) is a user-friendly platform for building websites and managing your own online content, instead of using a bunch of loose HTML pages.
