Create a website in less than 30 minutes with Sublim.design
Published on March 11, 2023
Let's set ourselves the challenge of creating a website in under 30 minutes By the way, is it possible to create a site in so little time? Where do I start? What tools should I use? How much will it cost? The first step is to draw up specifications to frame the challenge and define the list of actions to be carried out. By opening an account on Sublim.design, you can create a free, ready-to-use website in just a few seconds. The page is immediately available from a secure web address (URL) such as: https://www.sublim.design/monsiteweb/.
For our challenge, we're going to make things even more difficult by using shared hosting from Ionos. Our site will then have its own domain name and will operate completely autonomously. The Sublim.design SE(Server Edition) resource will keep our project running. Completely free of charge, it's also extremely light, taking up less than 2MB on the server!
Objectives and specifications of our web project
- Create a fictitious website around the theme of travel.
- Host the site on http://demo.sublim.design
- Create a pleasant, responsive and fully functional site.
- Propose a 2-level tree structure
- Integrate articles of around 500 words with photos, videos, lists, internal links, contact forms, maps....
For the purposes of our challenge, only the titles will be formulated in French. Other texts will be generated in lorem ipsum, i.e. a sequence of meaningless words used as examples. I>lorem ipsum texts are frequently used in copywriting and web design to simulate the final composition of a page. Photos are taken from Pixabay, a free, royalty-free image bank. Note that Sublim.design now uses the Pixabay API and connects directly to the famous image provider's search engine. This makes it possible to use a photo from the Pixabay collection, without having to leave the Administrator Interface of your website.
Our challenge was successfully met, and we were able to create a site in less than 30 minutes!
After 30 minutes' work, here we are webmaster of a new website accessible on http://demo.sublim.design. The pages are pretty user-friendly, displaying perfectly on all devices (computers, tablets and mobiles) and most browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox...). On the administrator's side, an integrated site editor facilitates the layout of each article: modules allow you, for example, to integrate slideshows, maps, contact forms, buttons, add quotations... All modules are customizable and feature more or less advanced settings, allowing you to compose pages that are unique and pleasant to read: choice of block size, colors, positioning....
