Of course, the first step in becoming a web developer is learning how to code! But if you want to see what it is like first, there are many different website-making tools that do not require coding skills. Here are two of the most popular to get started with:

  • WordPress (35% of ALL websites on the internet are WordPress websites, including Career In STEM!)
  • Wix

It’s super easy to get started. Just pick one of the website development platforms above, and get going! 

You can create a website for pretty much anything – your sports team, to advertise a play you are in, to raise awareness about an issue you are passionate about – anything!
