How to create a website using code

As we have discussed in our earlier posts about the “Brief introduction Of Website“. And also we got to know there, the different ways by which we can able to design a website. Here, In this post, we will be discovering the different languages, frameworks, libraries, etc. by which we can able to design websites through custom code.

Previously when the websites are been designed, they are more text-based, and then later on they had a tabular structure format. But as time flies, websites, as well as their structuring languages, had updated far too. Nowadays, websites have a beautiful format, it includes beautiful images, content, table, form, and many, etc. Many software companies launch their different software or CMS like- WordPress, Wix, etc. which makes the designing of websites more easily. But designing the websites through custom code is evergreen and one of the best ways too.

A developer, basically who used to design the websites through custom code have full control over the website. Through custom code, any kind of website you can able to develop. Plus the most awaiting benefit you got, is your website loading speed, which you get is very fast over here and it’s been the biggest factor too, to rank up your website or page in the Search Engine browser too. But before knowing about the different frameworks, languages and libraries let’s talk about different types of websites which is as follows:-

Static Website
Dynamic Website

Static Websites-

Websites that have fixed content and are used to display in the web browser exactly as it is stored are known as Static Websites. Basically, it does not require programming languages to build. And we can say it’s been the easiest form of website creation. It’s very cheap to host too and is very fast or secure too. We can easily able to build static websites through- HTML, CSS & JavaScript. For example- the Baba Coder website is also a static website, where for every change I need to do it manually, and you got the content here as I had stored it.

Dynamic Websites-

The website displays different content or layout every time a user views it. The change in the display may depend on a number of factors like viewer demographics, time of day, location, etc. Maintaining these types of websites needs more expenses and here it requires different types of programming languages too. For example- Amazon, the eCommerce website, where every time you can able to access different content or layout.

Basic Frontend languages Must to know up before starting-

As we have discussed above, the different types of websites. And nowhere, we will see the basic and the most important languages you must need to know before starting designing any kind of website through custom code or before starting your career in the web-developing field. And these are as follows:-

(i) HTML- It stands for ‘HyperText Markup Language’. And it’s been the standard of designing and displaying the website inside the browser. It basically provides a structure or layout to any website, as it has different series of elements or tags which are responsible to provide a particular defined layout to any website. And these elements only tell the browser what should the web page look like. For example:- If we want to add a table inside our webpage then we need to add it through the ‘<table>’ element or tag.

(ii) CSS- It stands for ‘Cascading Style Sheet’. It is the language that used to be included with the HTML document and through it, we can able to style an HTML document. As we know, nowadays beautiful websites with beautiful color texture, and structure is been the trend, and through CSS we can able to beautify our HTML document to the next level. For example:- If I want to add different colors plus spacing inside our table section then simply I can able to do it through our CSS.

(iii) JavaScript- It is one of the most powerful and popular programming languages, which can be used both on the client as well as the server-side. It allows us to make our web pages more interactive. It can add dynamic content to make it look good. Through it we add functionality to our static website.

Other Powerful & Popular Frontend languages-

As of now, we have understood different markup languages, frameworks, and libraries that can be helpful in constructing or structuring the websites, yet there are other languages or frameworks too which are most popular and which can help in designing the website too.
We will be talking about such libraries and frameworks below which are easy and popular to use with:-

(i) Bootstrap- It is a free and open-source HTML, CSS & JavaScript framework to quickly design responsive mobile-first sites. It has its predefined classes which have their own functionality. You can easily include or construct your desired section by including its predefined classes inside your desired section or element. It reduces a lot of work and easily you can able to construct the mobile-responsive sections. Recently, it has launched its latest version Bootstrap 5, which uses plain JavaScript instead of jQuery and other Popper JS. You can easily include it inside your HTML document by its CDN (content delivery network) links or simply by downloading it from its official site – https://getbootstrap.com/.

(ii) jQuery- It is one of the best small, fast, free, and feature-rich JavaScript libraries. It is used to simplify the HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, also we can easily able to handle the events, CSS animation, and AJAX through it. We can easily include it inside our HTML document by its CDN (content delivery network) links or simply by downloading it from its official site – https://jquery.com/.

(iii) React JS- It is again a free, open-source, and powerful library of JavaScript. And is one of the most popular libraries of JavaScript which is mainly used to construct single-page or mobile applications. We use to construct the components over here to create the reusable UI components.

(iv) Angular JS- It is a JavaScript-based open-source front-end web framework for developing single-page web or mobile applications. It changes the static HTML to the dynamic HTML. It is managed mainly by Google and other individuals, so it’s expanding its framework continuously.

Some Popular Backend Languages-

As we know every website needs a database that manages and stores all the information and for such work, our website needs the backend languages, although backend languages can be helpful in other ways too. And below here we will be discussing most powerful and popular backend languages or frameworks which is as follows:-

(i) PHP- It stands for ‘Hypertext Preprocessor’. It is a server-side scripting language that is used to make dynamic and interactive web pages. Easily we can use it to store the information inside our database. It is one of the oldest and most powerful scripting languages, even WordPress-type CMS totally been developed inside this language.

(ii) Java- It is again a high-level, class-based, and object-oriented programming language. It is used as the server-side language for most back-end development projects, including big data and android development. Also, it can be used for desktop computing, other mobile computing games, and numerical computing. It is one of the most secured languages that’s why it is widely used in the financial, e-commerce field, even Amazon uses Java-based applications for its operations.

(iii) Python- It is one of the easy-to-learn programming languages and it can use for data analytics, machine learning, and even design. It is dynamically typed and interpreted language. It is easier to read and write and this is one of the reasons, it is been so popular among different programming languages. It is also based on the object-oriented concept.

(iv) . Net- It is a free, cross-platform, and open-source developer platform for building different types of applications. It’s been any type of platform and not basically a programming language. And inside this platform, we can use multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build for web, mobile, desktop games, and IoT.

(v) Ruby On Rails- It is a web and app-based framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, which is a software design pattern commonly used for implementing user interfaces and controlling logic.

Framework Vs Library

While discussing the programming languages we have recites several times about the Framework and Library. Now from the following table, we will be discussing what basically they are and what is the main difference in between them:-

Library	Framework
It is a group of reusable functions and classes that performs specific, well-defined operations.	It provides a structure around which we can add to our code to have significant functionality.
When we call a method from the library, we are in the control.	Control is totally inverted here, which means the framework used to call us here.
I can help in the linking and binding process.	It is a standard way to develop and deploy applications.

HTML VS WordPress

Till now, we knew that there are two most popular ways of designing websites and that is- HTML & WordPress. But usually, most of the readers have the doubt of choosing which way to design the websites. And the answer is- any way you can use to design the website, both have their own pros and cons and it totally depends on the website or project’s demands. To understand this, we should be aware of the key differences between HTML and WordPress, and here is as follows:-

HTML	WordPress
Coding Skills are required here.	No coding skills are required here. Easy ‘drag and drop’ functionality we can use here to add sections.
Loading Speed is really fast in comparison to any other CMS or software.	Loading speed is a little slow over here as we need to add on different plugins to add the functionality.
To design any website we need to start everything from scratch.	Thousands of templates are already there, we can import them as well.
It requires little maintenance.	It requires time-to-time maintenance.
Regularly updating the website, then managing here won’t be going that easy in comparison to WordPress.	Regularly your website need update then managing is very easy over here.

Due to the WordPress popularity, I had included different important posts or lectures too regarding WordPress. So stay tuned you will be getting the informational posts about WordPress, Custom code, and other important or popular libraries, frameworks, or languages, ahead in this journey. We together going to make us pro in this particular field.
