Fast way to build a website?

Hi, currently a student here and loving it. There's so much to learn!

For the moment, what is the fastest way to build a responsive site for a client? I have a few people asking me to build them a basic information site. Is it using a theme in Wordpress? Or is it faster to use Bootstrap (which I know nothing about yet, but willing to learn)?

Thanks.

Hey Holly,

The fastest way to build a static, responsive site would be to use something like WordPress, or another site builder like Wix. WordPress would be great for you since you only need to install a theme, load any plugins required, and you can start writing content.

It takes a total of 15-20 minutes to get a site running with WordPress, so I would go with that. In addition, WordPress also allows you to make custom HTML and CSS edits, which would be great practice for your skills!

Happy coding!
