Build a Simple HTML and CSS Website in 5 Minutes with Notepad

In this video, I challenge myself to write a very bare HTML website from scratch in 5 minutes using only Windows Notepad on a PC. Writing a website in HTML from the bottom up is still a relevant skill that will serve beginning and seasoned developers in their careers. Though there are millions (exaggeration) of content management systems that pretty much eliminate the need to build from scratch (I'm a Wordpress Warrior myself), writing HTML is a good practice to help you better understand how sites are structure and read other developers code that will help you become better at customizing any website. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: These are affiliate links that I will make a small percentage of money from when the user makes a purchase.
