Creating Websites: A Comprehensive Guide

In today's digital world, creating a website is not just a useful skill, it's a necessity - for both businesses and individuals who want to make a name for themselves online. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a blogger or an artist, having your own website can significantly increase your visibility and, in turn, contribute to your success. But where do you actually start?

Decision questions

Answer first. Then mechanism and boundary conditions.

01

When should you build and when should you buy?

Buy when the process is standard and the tool’s constraints cost less than maintaining custom code. Build when advantage depends on non-standard logic, data or integration.

02

How do you design reliable integrations?

Every event needs an owner, identifier, retry policy, idempotency and visible status. One system must not silently corrupt another.

03

What makes a system ready to evolve?

A clear domain model, access control, observability, data migrations and module boundaries. A new feature should not require rewriting the whole process.
