7,101 PointsHow do I create a complete website being a front-end developer?
Hi there,
I just started on this journey. That's why I offered to make a website for free for a woman in exchange for her testimonial.
However, where do I make a complete website if I am only a front-end developer?
How do I get to know which images to use and all the other stuff?

Second you can learn how to make a website from any of your frontend tracks or backend tracks like php.

I believe in your country you can easily find free PHP web hosting.
If not you can either learn rails, python, java, or javascript push to heroku.
Goodluck in your journey.

You can get away with creating a simple website with HTML/CSS at first, if you would want to add some interactivity, JavaScript can help with that but might be a little daunting at first. In terms of the images/graphical elements, it will be up to you or for the client to supply them. In a perfect world, the client should supply with you with all of the copy/images/logos. Also, keep in mind when using images that not all not are free so be mindful of copyright infringement. There are websites out there that offer free stock photography and resources like http://www.freepik.com/ and https://pixabay.com/ .
If you happen to get stuck in the process of designing the website, keep in mind you can always check out inspiration online - simply search something along the lines of "nicely designed websites" on google or something similar to get a sense of the different things that are possible.
I hope this helps!
