Building a website can take months.
Luckily there are frameworks, minimal coding, and no-code solutions designed to help anyone build a quick website.
Here are 4 hacks to build your own website from the ground up.
Life Hack #1: Use Web Frameworks
Django – features such as user notifications, user login, and dynamic page rendering.
Flask – great if you have a basic knowledge of Python and are looking to create a smaller site with the few features you actually need to complete your project.
Ruby on Rails – flexible syntax and increased speed and efficiency given the development principle of convention not creating.
Life Hack #2: Use CSS Frameworks
Bootstrap – easy to implement with a CDN script and the documentation is full of code snippets designed to copy and paste directly into your code.
Materialize – a pared-down version of Bootstrap with endless color variations.
Tailwind CSS – for the person looking to build their own custom components and go against Bootstrap's cookie-cutter components.
Life Hack #3: Use JS Animation Libraries
React.js – the idea is to make simple views that render the correct UI components when needed.
Typed.js – if you're looking to add a cool typing animation to your site.
ScrollReveal – allows you to reveal parts of your website as the user scrolls down the page.
Life Hack #4: Use no-coding solutions
Bubble – allows for web flows that handle data submissions all without touching a line of code.
Webflow – operates similarly to Adobe programs with the side navbars used to change the color, orientation, and font of components.
