Q: What do you do if your code doesn't work?
A: this
Q: Where do I start to create a site?
A: come up with a domain name, then either find a web hosting server or use your own if you have access to that. if it wasn't obvious enough i use Neocities for hosting my site. very beginner friendly.
Q: I don't know how to code! how can I learn?
A: courses online! theres the one from Neocities of course but i'm sure you can find others if needed. (someone find me another course please i need to hoard resources)
Q: Can I make a website without learning to code at all?
A: you *can* but why? html is relatively easy and coding is a good skill to have. 90% of my website is just html, it's really all you need to start. if you really want a website builder without coding check sadgirl.online's stuff i'm sure she has at least one in her own resource list
Q: Is site creation hard?
A: sometimes!
Q: Couldn't you format this whole Q and A thing better?
A: i don't wanna :(
