About This Video

In this video I walk you through how to make and launch your own personal website in like 10–12 minutes using a template I made. After you download it, we mainly edit one file: index.html. I show you how to open the HTML in a text editor (I used Sublime), then update the “white text” placeholder content—your name, school, About Me, social links, projects, resume, and contact info—and refresh in Chrome to instantly see changes. I also show a quick quality-of-life tweak like changing the browser tab title, plus how to swap the background image (just make sure it’s 1920x1080 and rename it to background.jpg). Once the site looks good locally, I show how to put it live for free with GitHub Pages. The big thing is your repo name has to match your GitHub username, because your URL becomes username.github.io. I explain the local vs remote repo idea, then we clone the repo, copy the website files into it, and run the basic git flow: git add, commit, and push. If your page doesn’t show up right away, I mention the quick fix I hit—making another small change and pushing again—then your site should load live.
