About Jasmine Web Starter Project
Jasmine Web Starter is a HTML & CSS template containing no frameworks. Which allows you to build your first webpage by updating content within the HTML file, which is then styled by our CSS to give you a modern fresh page layout.
All this can be carried out within your browser with nothing to install, though you will need a GitHub account.
We designed it specifically for those with little or no experience of coding & website design. But we think it is also ideal for those more experienced, who are looking to make a simply styled webpage in a hurry.
As part of the Web Starter we are going to provide a step by step tutorial of how to transform these templates into your first website with nothing more than a Web browser and your GitHub account.
We have released two starter templates today for you to get started with.
We are also going to release extra tutorials over time about adding more features to your website, in small clear steps.
This website is built using the JasmineWS as its core, we have just added classes to support the information we want to display.
Why have we used GitHub as a base for this project
Over 225 million developers from around the world are using GitHub today, committing code, contributing documentation, and building new solutions to solve problems on a global level.
Which is why for some time we have been wanting to provide Business Owners and Students a place to learn how to build or update a website, showing the steps needed and explaining which part does what.
Whilst also showing how to work with GitHub repositories. The repository is an ideal home for the project as it offers version control, a back up and you can deploy from it as well.
With the launch of GitHub Web Editor (github.dev editor) came a lower barrier of entry to getting started with the introduction to working in the browser. Simplifying the process of making changes to your files and starting to work with GIT for version control on GitHub.
Before this we would have had to cover installing software on your machine and the setup steps needed. This all changed thanks to the great workflow offered now in the browser with the release of Visual Studio Code for the web (github.dev & vscode.dev)
Which is why we think it's a great skill to learn whether you are just starting out building things or wanting to grow your knowledge base with something new.
GitHub = Repository + Editor/Preview + Hosting
The Authors Behind JWS
Jasmine Web Starter is a collaborative open source project written and made by JasmineDesign and Fiddle & Fettle.
We wanted to show you that having a basic website didn't need to cost you anything at all, especially with the cost of living increasing so much at the moment particularly for those running a small business.
Please note that if you are going to run a small Business site then you would need your own domain, hosting and email which would lead to a little cost out lay. We will have a tutorials that covers small Business sites in more details soon.
