what is the most practical way to create a website like this that allows people to access content without any bullshit? i guess i could google a little harder, but the only ways i've been able to make a site is through google, wix, and this other one called web.com, and i'm wondering if you knew a way to bypass those sites and create the site with my own code?
start on your hard drive, just to get the idea. take a text file, save it as plain text (not rich text) put a bunch of html in it, then save it as .html. then drop that into your favorite web browser and pow you have a website, except it's only on your computer. then you'll have to get hosting, which you have to pay yearly for. and then get ready to see targetted ads from hosting companies for the rest of your life, even long after you bought it. you'll also see wix ads telling you 'you need a website why not do it yourself' even for centuries after you already made your own website yourself
