Getting Started With Your Own Website

A beginner's guide to setting up and customizing your personal website using this template.

Taking control of your online presence starts with owning your own website. Unlike social media platforms where algorithms decide who sees your content, your website is truly yours.

Why Build Your Own Website?

There are several compelling reasons to manage your own website:

  1. Ownership - Your content lives on your domain, not someone else’s platform
  2. No algorithms - Visitors see exactly what you publish, in the order you choose
  3. Longevity - Social platforms come and go, but your domain is yours forever
  4. Flexibility - Complete control over design, layout, and functionality

Getting Started

This template makes it easy to get started:

  1. Fork the repository on GitHub

  3. Update the content in your pages
  4. Deploy to GitHub Pages (free!) or your preferred host

Customizing Your Site

Check out the design system to see all the available colors, typography, and components. The theme uses CSS custom properties, making it simple to change the entire color palette by editing a few values.

What’s Next?

Once you have your site running, you can:

  • Add more pages for different sections
  • Write blog posts to share your thoughts
  • Connect your custom domain
  • Add analytics to understand your visitors

The possibilities are endless when you own your platform.
