My daughter wants to pick up creating a website again. I initally showed her some html a couple of years ago, but she struggled a bit. It required a lot of me telling her what to do. Ideally, I&#39;d like to not have to supervise the entire time. Are there any tools or suggestions out there?

@tom When I was in art school, I had a lot of fun with CSS Zen Garden. It's the same HTML but with thousands of different CSS files, showing the power of CSS. https://csszengarden.com/

@tom I've made a ton of stuff over the years, mostly for myself.. A lot of people like https://www.w3schools.com/html for a good HTML intro, and https://html.com is awesome too, for learning. Me, I grab a free template from somewhere I like and then start messing with it- some bootstrap ones like here, for example, can help (further down the page, past the businessy ones) - https://startbootstrap.com/?showPro=false&showVue=false&showAngular=false And then I'd say throw the HTML (and assets) either directly into a new Neocities account, and you can mess with it there, and see how it updates, or you can do it locally, I use Brackets for that. For example, the other day I found a template I like and put up https://new2antique.com in just a couple hours (which isn't done, and is all just hosted at Neocities, the .com via Porkbun that forwards) for my collectibles selling business. But you can really see how the whole site works that way, doing it in Neocities. And the community there is good.
