Isn't Making Websites Really Difficult?
Basic web design is not terribly difficult when you have the right tools and workspace setup. This site (initial pages, store and first blog) were all written from scratch in less than 24 hours. No templates, no starter code, nothing. Web site design and building should be easy. While a myriad of tools exist to help web designers, none of them work just like you want and 90% of the time you end up writing alot of custom HTML, CSS and JS anyways. So why not just start from scratch?

How do I even make HTML, CSS or JS Files?
All three of those files are forms of plain text. Plain text files can written in any text editor like notepad, NotePad++, Sublime text or my favorite VS Code. All are human readable, and easy to organize efficiently if you think ahead. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the first of these three file types we should look at. HTML is a from of XML meaning it uses Tags like shown in the code snippet below
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>My Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css">
<link rel="icon" href="./favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
</head>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
</main>
<script src="index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
