The right way to start is with HTML and motherfucking website. https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ Really. At this point this is what websites should strive to be. Text on the screen. Everything about HTML can be learned from the MDN documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML It can be written by hand but that's way too verbose. Pug is a great solution to that problem: it's just HTML but much less verbose. I integrated it with GitHub Pages so pug sources get compiled to HTML and published when commits are pushed. Great experience. https://pugjs.org/ https://github.com/pugjs/pug After this, the next step is to learn CSS so you can make it look a little nicer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS Javascript should only be necessary if you want to do something like this: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/
