Building this Website
April 4, 2020, 3:07 p.m.
Languages used for this website: Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
I designed and built this website from scratch. The first iteration was solely an Apache webserver with HTML pages. From there I updated it to use Django as the framework so that I could have more flexibility with design and more power under the hood.
In addition to coding the pages and backend of the website, I needed to host and deploy it. In order to get the best pricing and most control, I chose to rent space on a Virtual Private Server and manage the server myself. I purchased my domain, rented and configured a Linux server, and updated my DNS host settings. From there, I installed the Apache webserver, and transferred my website’s code to the Virtual Server.
It is my hope that I can use the skills I honed while building and launching this website to help others with their website needs as well. Please reach out to me if you like what you see and need help to launch your own site.
