Hey team, thanks for checking this video out ๐ If you want my personal recommendation for website platforms, I'd 100% recommend Ghost. Been using it since 2016 for my own personal website. Here's a cheeky affiliate link – https://ghost.org/ali and if you like my website, you can get my website theme here: https://superthemes.co/ali-abdaal/
This was amazing!
Thank you. This literally inspired me to build my first website.
Will follow up once I begin (hope you wouldnโt mind)

How to make a website in 2023 posted two years ago how
Dude. This is soooo tedious. head line says "How To Build A Website in 2023" and you give a long speech on how important having a website is… wow.
The title is bogus. This video is two years old. It wasn't posted in 2023.
I have many stories to say
Hi, I know this is quite an old video but I am also quite young but would like ti start making some money. I really enjoy design and I think this would be a good option. Could you please explain which tools you used when you were just starting out? It would help a lot.
holy crap this is the best YouTube video I have ever seen! came looking for a recommendation for a free website, but the universe had more in store for me! can't wait to dig in to all the rest of your content!!!
Why is this titled ''2023' when it's 2 years old? Please don't clickbait.
one could say these things in 2 mins instead of 22 min.
Thanks for making this video. It was useful.
The music in the background literally made it easier for me to concentrate. Like floating on a cloud while processing. Thank you.
this mofo is an absolute GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
You talk too much ๐
Abdaal your heart is the right place. Just get to the point of your title life is short. Thank you
What year is this?? We are in 2023 but this was uploaded in 2021 ๐ค
It says 2023 but it,s 2 years ago
Done โ๏ธ ๐ ๐ โณ๏ธ โ๏ธ ๐
How important is it to use your "real name?" I'm helping my husband create a web page and he has a super common name….๐ค
10 mins in, so how do i build a website?
the video was 2 years ago yet it says 2023
I don't really want to use my name as my domain name. What do you recommend? Do I invent a brand?
I wanna make one of those crazy 2000โs websites lol
Dude, I'm so glad I got to watch this video. I'm on the verge of creating my own business. I already have my fictitious name. ๐
It says 2023 but the vid was 2 years ago ๐คจ
how often do you come to pakistan? do you even come here?
"I know how Asian parents are like" ๐คฃ
Nice, Informative video. Thanks for sharing.. ๐
what if i want to code it myself like adding more animation?
Bro how is this video 2 years old….
The "little village" analogy was terrible. I watch 1/3 of the video and still nothing about making the website.
Iโm a kid
what is point of having a t-shirt which is not ironed out?

Unless
