Summary

In this chapter, it was my hope that you were inspired to learn more about CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. There are some incredible courses available to teach you the foundation of these languages, but the goal of this chapter was to acquaint you with the ways and places where you can use custom code. We discussed the use of the CSS editor, code injection editors, and common issues that can cause your code to break. I shared some of my favorite resources and challenged you to find a code snippet and add it to your website. This brings us to the end of Part 2, Design & Build Your Site

At this point, it’s time to take your site to another level. We’ll focus on additional features you can add to your site, beyond the core functionality. If you feel content with the pages you’ve built out – and don’t plan to add blogging, commerce, or other advanced features to your site – you can skip to Part 4 to prepare for launch.
