Ok. Here I’m going to go over some advanced web dev. This is going to allow you to add custom HTML and CSS to Wordpress. It will also allow you to edit the files in the file manager in cpanel and build websites from scratch.
Websites are made up of front-end and back-end code. The front-end controls how the UI (user interface) looks. It is the layout of the text, images, and elements on the webpage. The back-end controls the functionality of the website. It is the code that manages logins, data storage, emailing, and anything else regarding the funcitonality of the website.
The front-end is built using three languages: HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
HTML controls which elements are put on the page. You use HTML to add elements such as text, images, and video to the website.
CSS controls the style of the page. It governs the layout of the text, images, and video on the page and how each element looks.
Javascript controls how the elements interact with each other. For example, clicking on a link in the navbar may scroll down to a certain section on the website
In terms of back-end web development, there are many different languages that can be used. Back-ends can be written in python, Java, C#, and many more languages. However, the most common and easiest starting place is PHP. Wordpress is written in PHP. You can use it to handle forms, interact with databases, grab data from APIs, send emails, and more.
Now that you understand web development and building front-end/back-ends, the web is your oyster. You should be able to build websites from scratch and edit existing ones.
