It’s 2019 and I Still Make Websites with My Bare Hands

I can think of two approaches:

1. Get a better idea of the tools already at your disposal (HTML5, CSS3). I can recommend Dive into HTML5 http://diveinto.html5doctor.com

2. Start building. Literally, start with the barebones Hello World given in the article. Then gradually turn it into your site, making liberal use of Stack Overflow (direct search) and Google.

Thanks for the link. This whole thread is refreshing. I am someone who does not do web development for a living but occasionally builds a website. Every time I start building a new site I am at a complete loss where to start. Yet I have been doing HTML and CSS since 1999. I am going back to basics, starting with your link.

Open web inspector when you develop a website. You can get a better feel for how changing CSS on the fly take place on the actual webpage.

I would save a copy of the HTML from the top level comment of this thread and use it as a base to start any new project.

I like to start from scratch and add Bootstrap should I need responsiveness once I get to that point. L
