How to Deploy Your First Static Website
EDITOR BRIEF
Deploying a website means putting your finished files on an always-on server so others can open them by URL. For a static site, a common path is to push code to GitHub and connect it to a free host like Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or GitHub Pages, which rebuilds and republishes on every push. The excerpt also introduces Git, custom domains, HTTPS, secrets, and the common case where a site works locally but fails on the host.
INSIGHTS
If you are learning web development, deployment turns a local project into something real people can visit. A good next step is to publish a simple static site from GitHub to a free host and then test the live URL on another device.
