Module 1 · Build a Website Business · Day 6 of 10

Get a site live: your first real deploy

Local files aren't a shipped product. Today your site gets a real, public web address anyone can open.

Video — recording pending, script below stands in for now

Video script (for recording): "This is the day it stops being “a file on my computer” and becomes a real website. Let's put it on the internet."

From "on my laptop" to a real URL

A site only counts as shipped when someone else can open it. Today you connect the GitHub repository from yesterday to a free host that gives you a real, public web address.

Today's project — your first live deploy

  1. Create a free Netlify account

    At netlify.com — sign up with your GitHub account, it's the fastest path.

  2. Import your repository

    "Add new site" → "Import an existing project" → choose GitHub → select the repository you pushed yesterday.

  3. Deploy with the defaults

    For a plain HTML/CSS/JS site, you usually don't need to change any build settings — click "Deploy."

  4. Open your real URL

    Netlify gives you a live address like yoursite.netlify.app. Open it. Send it to someone. It's real now.

Deliverable check

  • Your site opens at a real, public netlify.app URL
  • It matches what you saw locally
  • You can share the link and someone else can open it on their own device
