How to Deploy Your First Website
EDITOR BRIEF
Deploying a website means putting your finished files on an always-on server so others can open them through a public URL. For static sites, a common path is to push code to GitHub and connect the repo to a free host like Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or GitHub Pages, which rebuilds and republisheds on each push. The excerpt also explains basics like DNS, HTTPS, and the difference between static and dynamic sites.
INSIGHTS
This matters because many beginners stop after building locally and never make their project shareable. A good next step is to deploy a simple HTML/CSS site from GitHub to a free host and confirm it opens on a phone or shared link.
