  1. Spectacular responsive site templates
    Starting Point Not sure where to start, I looked for advice from freeCodeCamp. I found this tutorial of How to Put a Website Online, and it was extremely useful in providing guidance for someone (like me) who has no knowledge on buying a custom domain, hosting and outsourcing a template. I had fun perusing through Pixelarity where you can browse HTML responsive template designs. Basic skills required include HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The next step was trying to figure out my custom domain. Funny thing, this effort frustrates me the most, and I could not make up my mind. Long story short, I ended up re-branding myself to @fentybit, and settled on fentybit.me. I love numbers, and hence, bit or binary digit. Then, I mulled over .dev and .me for quite some time. I learned from other developers and their thoughts on .dev domain, and I settled on .me. I want my site to personally share who I am and what I am, in the most minimalistic way. I am glad the custom domain was still available. Thank you Namecheap.

  2. A free, static web host for open-source projects on GitHub
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Namecheap && Netlify While there are a lot of hosting providers such as Bluehost, GoDaddy, Hostinger, DreamHost and so on, you can always get free ones from either Netlify or GitHub pages. I had success initially deploying with GitHub pages, though my site resulted being "Not Secure" on Chrome. I made another attempt on setting up my domain with Namecheap and Netlify. Starting with Namecheap to configure the DNS settings > Manage. Under Nameservers category, I had to update from Namecheap Basic DNS to Custom DNS.

  3. Just send your form to our URL and we'll forward it to your email.
    Personalize your Site Personalizing HTML/CSS attributes and content delivery took most of my time, but Pixelarity made it so effortless! If there is anything new, it would be trying to link my contact page so other devs can communicate back to me. Formspree provides this service. I only need to submit their API to my front-end code, and they take care of the rest. 📝.
