Hi everyone,
I’m new to WebmasterWorld and also completely new to web development.
I’ve been wanting to learn how to build websites, but honestly I’m a bit confused about where to start because there are so many tutorials, courses, and different technologies out there.
I’d really appreciate any beginner-friendly advice, resources, or roadmaps that helped you when you were starting out.

Hello EcstaticRice6188 and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

You're right, there are a lot of tutorials and courses out there but there are also self help places that have been around for decades. Well known and reliable and free. One place I'd suggest is the www.w3schools.com site where they explain each step and let you try out your work and learn at your own pace.

Another place you can look around and read more about building websites and maintaining them is this site, it is a giant library of learning, often you can learn from others' mistakes. Start at the forum's Index that lists all the forums, so you can read about the various things you need to know: [webmasterworld.com...] The Index can help you find your topic of interest and each forum has a Charter and a Library of some important, helpful topics - those are on the dropdown Forum Options menu at the top, right under the title.

For your benefit, that welcome link above offers tips on using the forums' features and settings.
