Reasons You Should Read the Guide

I conducted detailed research of all the methods developers are using to create websites.

I also used knowledge from my 4 years in the web development industry. I have created my websites also interacted with other developers. Whenever I can, I ask them about how they make websites.

Information Sources

I used 3 main places as my source of information:

• Company and developer websites

Companies usually reveal the technology they are using to create their websites. You can find the information on blog posts and podcasts.

• Looking at the website code

Some tools used to create websites leave clues on the technology used. For example, you can tell if a website is made with WordPress by using view-source.

• Freelancing websites and job boards

When companies and individuals advertise for jobs, they sometimes indicate the technology tools that they use to create their website.

Very few companies indicate their tools. But when they do, I note that down. Note that this is different from the candidate required skills which are sometimes not a reflection of the technology used on the job.

Now, you can confidently jump to all the methods used to create websites.
