A website is a collection of interlinked webpages with a common domain name that are published on a server. There are two main ways to build a website: coding from scratch or using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, which allows you to create a website with little to no coding knowledge. To create a website using a CMS, you first buy a domain name and web hosting, then install the CMS on the hosting server's control panel.
