How letsgomahi.com Works

 

Lets Go Mahi works with code (obviously). But lets draw the curtains and take a look at behind all the scenes. Let's first see how your browser delivers a site. When you click on a site link, your browser goes into the big, website library. It then searches for the IP address for the domain name. Next, the browser sends a request to the server, and it also sends requests for additional things like images and videos. The server gives these items and bam! The site loaded. It's amazing how all this in done in a few seconds, right? But don't always think it can be super fast, ok? Next, I'll be showing you step by step how to create a good website and what is essential for one                  

1: Get a domain name

A domain name is the name of your website. Have something short and memorable. You can get a domain name from Route53 by Amazon Web Services or CrazyDomains (I used Route53).

2: Find a site to host yours on

You need a site to host your own one on. This is crucial for a website. No points though for guessing what mine is hosted on (which is AWS, by the way).

3: Design your site

Design your site to enhance it. Add some pop to it! Add color and interesting features to make it look attractive. Also design a logo. It will symbolize your site.

4: Code it up!

Now you will actually need to learn code. I recommend w3schools. They are a great learning area for how to code! (Also, having a dad whose job is coding is pretty handy as well 😊).

5: Official release!

Now is the time for the grand opening. Dun dun dun!
