Method 1: Using a website builder
This one is easier as we said earlier. Nicepage is a user-friendly website builder designed to simplify the process of creating beautiful and simple websites. You can have yours in just minutes.
Step #1: Choose your template

Now you’ll need to create an account.
Step #2: Customize your site
Start customizing your template using Nicepage’s intuitive drag-and-drop editor (edit text, images, colors, and layout styles, and add/remove blocks headers footers forms.. as you like to match your preferences).
Preview your website to make sure everything looks as you have in mind.
Step #3: Launch your site
Once satisfied with your site, click Publish to make your site live on the internet.
PS: Nicepage offers free plans and paid plans, but the free plans can be enough for you as a beginner.
Method 2: Using WordPress
WordPress is a more advanced solution and powerful CMS “content management system” platform that allows for more advanced customization for various types of websites, from simple blogs, media galleries, and membership sites, to e-commerce stores.. and all of this using ready-to-use templates, you don’t have to code anything.
