Core Concepts

HTML (Web Page Structure)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My Website</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <header>Header</header>
    <main>Main content</main>
    <footer>Footer</footer>
</body>
</html>

CSS (Styling)

body {
    font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

.container {
    max-width: 1200px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 20px;
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .container { padding: 10px; }
}

Next.js App Router

// app/page.tsx
export default function Home() {
  return (
    <main className="container mx-auto p-4">
      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Welcome!</h1>
    </main>
  );
}

Deployment Methods

GitHub Pages (Free)

1. Create GitHub repository
2. Push code
3. Settings -> Pages -> Source: main branch
4. Access at https://username.github.io/repo-name

Vercel (Recommended for Next.js)

1. Sign up at vercel.com (GitHub integration)
2. "New Project" -> Select repository
3. Click "Deploy"

Limitations

• No login/registration (requires server)
• No data storage (requires database)
• No admin pages (requires backend)
• No payment features (requires backend)

• Admin page
• User communication features

Pipeline Flow (Starter)

Phase 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 6(static) -> 9

Skip API (Phase 4), Design System (Phase 5 optional), SEO only in Phase 7.
