Here are 25 website ideas that you can launch to bring in some extra revenue.

Use Webflow's visual development platform to build completely custom, production-ready websites — or high-fidelity prototypes — without writing a line of code.

The right website idea could help you generate extra cash.

If you’re not sure what type of website to launch, you’re in the right place. We put together 25 different website ideas that you can start building today.

Building and launching a side project isn’t just a way to learn something new — you can also turn it into a steady stream of revenue. Whether you want to monetize content with a membership website, open an ecommerce store, or start a food blog — there are a multitude of options for making money online. 

What kind of website ideas are in high demand?

The best website ideas either have some sort of utility or function as an informational website.. Ideally, these websites can be built quickly so they can start addressing the customer demand. 

Utility-style websites are those that others can use to create a specific outcome. For example, creating a job board website can help job seekers find new work and help recruiters find another avenue for hiring top talent.

Informational-style websites are those that educate and inspire others. For example, creating an online learning website can help others improve their skills in a particular subject.

The examples listed below will fall either into the utility or informational categories.

Let’s get into it.

25 best website ideas you can start in 2024

Here are 25 different website design ideas to show you what’s possible.

1. Job sites

We’ve all spent plenty of time looking through job sites. Many seem like an endless scroll with no clear organization. Finding any type of job in the bulk of posts can be a frustrating task.

There is always a demand for quality job boards. If you have some technical skills already, starting a job web page of your own is a great idea for a side project that can help you bring in some extra income.

Best Writing stands out as a great example due to its clean website design that focuses on the quality of their leads and usability. It offers a user experience free from the complexities that bog down so many other job boards.

The search function for job listings pictured above simplifies the job search, and gives users a quick way to find the specific type of job that they’re after.

Best Writing has a paid monthly membership that gives members advanced notice about new job postings. Additionally, the site also charges job posters a fee. Charging these fees allows the site to bring in revenue without relying on ads.

2. Affiliate sites

An affiliate website offers an online store of products and resources in a specific niche. Think of them as digital boutiques catering to the tastes and interests of a select demographic.

A great example of an affiliate site is Raymmar’s Reads — which functions as a digital book club where Raymmar shares books he likes and includes Amazon affiliate links. Raymmar uses 3D animations and nice color-shifting background transitions to make this simple site stand out. 

3. Membership websites

If you’re already blogging, creating tutorials, or are thinking about launching an online course of your own, membership websites make it easy to get paid for what you create. There are many types of websites that offer memberships that unlock premium content that’s not available anywhere else.

Most offer a basic level — giving people a taste of what’s available for free and then enticing them to sign up for their premium memberships. Becoming a paying member unlocks exclusive content like step-by-step tutorials, online courses, articles, videos, message forums where experts share tips, and more. 

The Oasis with Jennifer Louden is a great example of a membership site. Members who pay a monthly subscription receive access to a library of inspirational audio/video resources, writing and business practice tips, live monthly calls, and more. 

If you’re looking for a great website idea to make money off of your content, building a membership website is a solid avenue.

4. Online learning websites

Quite a few platforms out there will host online courses for you. But they come at a price. Why not launch your own site and avoid having to pay someone for what you could do on your own with a website builder like Webflow?

Master the Handpan offers everything you need to learn how to play the handpan metal drum. The site includes three different levels of paid lessons — beginner, intermediate, and master class — plus a music theory course. Along with their instructional materials, Master the Handpan also has a buyer’s guide, discussion forum, and blog. There’s plenty of free content here to pique the interest of any aspiring handpan player.

If you’re offering an online course for a niche interest like the handpan, someone may find your website faster through a search engine than if it was part of a larger online course platform where it may get less visibility. If there’s not a lot of competition for what you’re teaching, being able to quickly attain a   high level of SEO may be feasible if you create your own website.

If you want to have complete control over monetizing your online courses, launching a website of your own is the way to go. 

5. Marketing Blog

Many bloggers also sell products and services such as online courses, consulting sessions, books, and merch. A blog functions as a space to showcase one’s expertise and share knowledge. Plus, a blog is a great place to earn your target audience’s trust so you can promote the products and services you sell.

Owned and designed by Emma Peacock, Honey Pot Digital 's primary goal is to showcase her digital marketing services to business owners. Emma provides resources on her blog , touching on everything from social media to how to market one's business online.

Emma's blog positions her as an authority on digital marketing, which complements Emma's paid services. Making the leap from her free content to her paid services should be easy for anyone who finds her blog posts informative.

Blogs are great for drawing attention to paid content and other services you provide. They not only help you build your reputation, they also act as an SEO beacon that brings in organic traffic.

6. Ecommerce websites

Online shops are a great side business that almost anyone can launch. Keep in mind that with so many ecommerce websites out there, you’ll be entering a competitive space — so make sure you have a solid brand identity and niche so you can set your online shop apart from the rest.

L’intendance , a French purveyor of bulk and specialized food items, offers all of their products free of plastic packaging. They have a very specific marketing angle that reflects their brand identity of sustainability.

With brilliant food photography and a clean and bright web design, there’s a crisp freshness to their website.

An ecommerce store can range from a few items to hundreds, and it’s well within the capabilities of anyone to set up. You can always start as a small business and scale up as you gain more customers.

You can even go as far as creating a dropshipping website if you’re just starting out and want to validate an idea. For example, many clothing lines use Printful to create print-on-demand apparel. This eliminates the need to buy inventory because products are only created when someone purchases them from your online store.

7. Curation websites

Curation websites are libraries of related content that continually get updated. They act as an ongoing repository of articles, tutorials, and other content that an audience would find interesting.

For those with a passion for tech and design, Sidebar offers an amazing collection of curated content. Whether you’re a web designer, copywriter, or someone else whose creative talents intersect with the digital realm, you’ll find so much here that will capture your attention.

With articles like “Why Does a Design Look Good?”, “How to Improve CSS Performance,” and “How to Write Inclusive, Accessible Digital Products,” Sidebar covers a wide range of topics that are informative and inspiring.

8. Service-based websites

A service-based business is just a fancy name for a business that can do something for you that you can’t do yourself — for example, real estate agents or interior decorators.

Service-based businesses also occupy the digital realm. Scribly offers the service of content. For companies who don’t have an in-house content creation team or have a need for extra wordsmiths, Scribly provides writing, social media management, and content strategy.

If you have a special skill and there’s a demand for it, starting your own service-based business can help put a bit of extra money in your pocket.

9. Photography website

Like any creative pursuit, putting together a photography website is essential in bringing exposure to your art. A photography portfolio website not only gives you a platform to show off your art, but can also market it to a wider audience. 

 Built in Webflow, Rita Harper ’s photography website showcases Rita’s documentary photographers and photojournalism work. 

Like Rita, whether you’re a wedding photographer, photojournalist, or specialize in personal portraits — your photography portfolio should communicate your specific niche so it stands out to your ideal customer. 

You can also use your photography website to sell prints of your work. Don’t miss out on potential customers who might love to have your photos hanging up in their homes or workspaces.

10. Portfolio website

Let’s face it, as creatives we sometimes depend too much on our artistic sensibilities rather than business acumen. We can all benefit from having a portfolio website when pursuing new full time gigs or landing new clients. 

This portfolio for designer Lise Kyle Chapman showcases her work in an upbeat design, capturing both her expertise and personality.

If you do web design, writing, or pursue something in the visual arts, a portfolio website is essential for bringing visibility to your skills and talents — and potentially leveling up your revenue.

Build completely custom, production-ready websites — or ultra-high-fidelity prototypes — without writing a line of code. Only with Webflow.

11. Restaurant website 

You don’t need to run a restaurant to earn money from a restaurant website . You’d be surprised how many small businesses like restaurants have outdated websites or don’t have a website at all. If you have web design skills, consider reaching out to local businesses and pitch them on a website redesign package. 

Get to know the people who run some of your favorite restaurants and independent businesses and offer your design services. These types of projects won’t just put a bit of extra money in your pocket, but will also help you gain skills and experience as a designer.

12. Review website

If you enjoy movies, music, books, or some niche product and have opinions you’d like to share, consider building a review website. Writing reviews and making videos are fun ways to share your thoughts with others and connect with other fans.

Let’s say you’re into movies. You could start your own movie review blog and become the next Leonard Maltin .

Including some well-placed affiliate links and appropriate ads will help you generate a bit of passive income off of your own review site. Once you gain a following, you can also reach out to brands for freebies like movie passes or industry-related products in exchange for an honest review on your website. 

13. Comparison website

Comparison websites like Camelcamelcamel provide an easy way for consumers to find the best deals on what they’re after.

Comparison sites allow consumers to compare similar products based on different variables. Product specs, pricing, and other information are often presented in infographics, making it easier for people to quickly understand the similarities and differences between products. 

While comparison websites aren’t an ideal web design project for beginners, they can be lucrative for designers who feel confident building and managing many moving parts. Once you set up the site to pull in relevant information so consumers can easily view similar products side-by-side, you can focus on monetization.  

Comparison websites bring in money through affiliate marketing. It’s not uncommon to link out to products hosted on Amazon or other big name online retailers and collect affiliate earnings from sales. 

14. Recipe/food blog

A food blog is a way to share your creations with a greater audience. If you’re looking for website ideas for beginners, a food blog is relatively simple to create and easy to monetize.

Through your blog, you can provide step-by-step instructions for your favorite recipes along with your experience making them. If you love cooking, writing, and photography, a food blog is a fantastic way to share your culinary passion with others.

Food blogs and recipe websites can generate revenue in a few ways. Most food bloggers rely on affiliate links for everything from recommended cookware to specialty ingredients. Just be sure to add a disclaimer to your site about those affiliate earnings so your visitors don’t feel duped. You can also bring in extra money by selling ebooks, physical books, virtual cooking classes, and more.

15. Fan website

Fan websites focus on a specific fandom such as Potterheads, Whovians, or Trekkies. If you want to turn your favorite fandom into a side hustle , a fan website is a great option.

For hardcore Star Wars fans THEFORCE.NET has news, an active message board, and plenty of other excellent content. While the focus of the site is clearly all things Star Wars, you’ll notice ads throughout that drive revenue for the site. 

Whether you’re a comic book fan, self-proclaimed video game nerd, or part of another niche fandom — a fan website can be fun to create, maintain, and use to communicate with your fellow fans. Plus, if your website gets popular enough, there are always opportunities to make money through advertising or affiliate links related to your area of interest.

16. Podcast website 

If you produce a podcast, you might depend on social media as the main means of promoting it. Having a podcast website is another important marketing channel, providing an opportunity to create search engine optimized content that will bring in organic traffic. The bigger your podcast gets, the more likely the chance of getting sponsors and advertisers.

This website for the podcast Real Python not only provides multiple ways to listen to their episodes, but also offers courses, books, and other Python-related learning materials. The website includes plenty of free materials as well as a store that features a paid membership, books, and more.

17. Travel blog

Travel blogs aren’t just for social media influencers. Whatever your background, you have a perspective that’s unique. Document your journeys on your own travel website and share your experiences exploring the world. 

Wandering Earl has been blogging about travel and working abroad for a lengthy amount of time and his website is a great resource for anyone wanting to explore the world. Earl also uses his travel blog to promote and sell his tours. 

Of course, you don’t have to run a tour company to make money from a travel blog. You can earn money by selling travel guides such as physical books or ebooks, offering travel consulting services, and through ads and affiliate links. Travel blogs can also serve as a writing portfolio that helps you land paid gigs with travel outlets.

18. Fashion blog

For those with a passion for fashion, a fashion blog is a great website that’s easy to get up and running. It’s a great place to write about the latest trends, share photos of your own outfits, and create content for your fellow fashion enthusiasts.

Tiffany Battle’s fashion website The Werk! Place focuses on her unique perspective on fashion. Along with great content, Tiffany takes affiliate marketing to the next level with her “Shop my Instagram” option along with her branded discount codes for different stores.

Most fashion blogs monetize their content through affiliate links. As always, be selective about what products you’re going to endorse on your fashion website, and always let people know that you're including affiliate links.

20. Events website

Create an events website that has a specific focus. It could be for concerts, comedy open mics, art openings, or some other event people would be interested in. This is a great avenue for generating revenue through ads or making money through affiliate links, referrals, or partnerships with the events you feature.

For example, Los Angeles Theater provides its visitors with an easy way to see what’s going on entertainment-wise in the city.

21. Game website

Create a fun quiz-based website that will get people’s attention. There are plenty of quiz builders you can use to create something that your visitors will have fun clicking through.

If you’re skeptical about the earning potential — think about Buzzfeed . The site’s silly quizzes bring in a huge volume of traffic, which gives Buzzfeed more chances to earn revenue through ads and affiliate links. 

22. Personal website landing page

Not everyone needs or wants to put up an entire portfolio or personal website. Sometimes all you need is a landing page. A landing page is generally just a single page where you can include social media links, biographical information, and a contact form or other way to get in touch. Though the ROI may not always be obvious, it’s helpful to have a central place to send visitors who want to keep up with you or get in touch. 

A great example of a personal website landing page is a link in bio page, like this free cloneable by Webflow . Link in bio pages are essentially a resource hub for all your content in a single landing page. A personal landing page like this is great for adding to social media accounts that limit you to a single bio, or even as a straightforward website if you aren’t ready for something more involved. 

23. Inspirational

Inspirational websites generally focus on a specific topic such as family, health and wellness, or relationships. We all have challenges and frustrations in our lives. Whatever yours may be, consider starting an inspirational website to connect with others who face similar difficulties.

You can discuss your favorite self-help books, create a supportive forum, or share your experiences through a personal blog. Make yourself vulnerable so you can connect with others through our shared experiences.

Tiny Buddha by Lori Deschene is an inspirational website that focuses on “simple wisdom for complex lives.” The site includes motivational quotes, inspiring blogs, supportive forums, and more. Tiny Buddha monetizes their site by selling books, calendars, and courses through their online shop. 

24. SaaS website

Creating a business website for a SaaS product is a great way to improve your design skills and even find freelance work in the tech industry. SaaS is a software as a service product — think tools like Webflow, Zapier, or Buffer.

Users of these platforms pay a subscription to get access to tools and resources. Creating an actual SaaS product will take a lot of time and engineering resources. However, all of these platforms need a marketing site that shows off their product.

Webflow is one of the most popular tools out there for creating these SaaS marketing websites.

SaaS websites are more comprehensive websites, just like ecommerce websites. They usually require a homepage, feature and use case pages, and a blog. They are a key part to a SaaS company’s marketing strategy — making them a valuable website idea.

25. Newsletter websites

Creating a newsletter website is a great idea to provide useful information to any target audience. The key with this idea is to pick a niche and serve a small group of people with news-worthy content.

There are two different ways you can approach this website idea — write articles yourself or curate them from the web.

For example, Marketer Milk is a marketing newsletter website that curates marketing news and resources around the web. This is very similar to the curation idea mentioned earlier. However, the goal of this website is to get people onto an email list from your website.

You could start a newsletter simply by using a tool like Substack, but the key is to own your own digital real estate. So, creating a website for your newsletter is a great way to not rely on newsletter platforms to attract subscribers. It also gives you different marketing avenues, like writing SEO blog posts, to grow your website traffic.

So what are you waiting for?

Confused about your next job?

Before working on the projects it is essential to know what web development is. Web development is the work involved in developing a website or web application for the internet, it mainly covers the non-design markup aspects of building websites. The professionals divide it into three categories:

• Front-end web development
• Back-end web development
• Full-stack web development

While front-end web development deals with the visual aspect of a website, what users see its look and feel, back-end web development is concerned with the connection to the server, databases, etc. And full stack web development is a combination of both the frontend and backend types of web development.

Well, we know what web development is, but what are its uses of it? Obviously, to make websites!

Making websites is the most important use of web development. However, there are many other reasons as well for which people learn web development :

• Building real-world projects.
• A great income source
• Creative and fun.

Whether you’re an aspiring or junior front-end, back-end, or full-stack developer, building real-world projects is not only one of the best ways to learn and improve your coding skills but is also crucial for you to build an attractive portfolio to advance your career. But what projects can I work on? Will they be unique enough?

Don’t worry we have got you covered, we will provide you with the list of 20 web development projects and ideas that you can develop independently.

Let’s explore the top 20 web development projects and ideas.

One-Page Layout or design

How about building an attractive one-page responsive layout by using Simple HTML and CSS. Sounds great, right.

In Fact, this is the simplest web development project that you can start with. The conquer template can be used to build this project.

Source Code – One Page Layout Skills Required – HTML, CSS, Responsive Layout.

Product Landing Page

You now know how to make a simple one-page layout, how about building a product landing page then as a second step??

But how does it differ from the above project? The answer is in a product landing page you will use columns and align the components of the landing page within columns. Basic editing tasks like cropping images and making use of design templates are also covered in this.

Source Code – Netflix Clone Skills Required – CSS Grid, Styling Tables, Tabs with JavaScript, Positioning

Background Generator

As a Next step, it’s time to have an understanding of some basic JavaScript. How about making a basic background or gradient color generator, where you will choose a color from the palette and that color will become the background.

This project aims to find the best-looking background gradient for your project. You just have to select the colors you want from the color picker and then copy the code displayed and paste it into your code as a background color. It’s That Simple!

Source Code – Background Generator Skills Required – HTML, CSS and JavaScript

It’s time to master JavaScript with a minor project of making a quiz application.

Source Code – Quiz App Skills Required – HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Restaurant Website

Do you always wonder how I design a Restaurant Website had I been given a chance to do so?

We cannot give you a chance to do so now, however, you can make one for yourself and add it to your portfolio using your skills.

Responsive Blog Website

Let’s make another responsive website and add it to our portfolio. A blog website is the one where users can add a new blog, edit it and view other blogs published on the platform.

At first glance, it may feel that we will have to use some kind of database for storing the blogs. However, it’s not the case. Using LocalStorage you can store the data with no expiration date, even when the browser is closed. Alternatively, you can use the database for storing the blogs.

That means it will be available even when you close the browser and come back to the page.

Source Code – Blog Page Skills Required – HTML & CSS, JavaScript.

Covid Awareness

It’s been so long since covid came, we witnessed the first wave, then the super dangerous delta variant and now there is the Omicron variant. All glories to the great scientists and doctors for making vaccines in such a short duration and to the government for making the vaccine available at such a large scale that we are in a safer state now than we could have been without the vaccines.

You might be wondering why I am discussing this now. Well, this is the idea for our tenth project, making a covid 19 awareness website. This will involve the general guidelines that people must follow, the need and importance of vaccination, and the need to stay in isolation in case one experiences symptoms. In short a general-purpose awareness website.

Source Code – Covid Awareness Skills Required – HTML, CSS, Bootstrap

To do List App

This is a common project that all web developers have done at least once in their lifetime. Not only will this help you to keep track of your daily tasks but is a good project too at least at the beginner level. You can connect it with a database to store the daily tasks, the benefit of storing daily tasks in a database will be, you can, later on, add delete functionality to it. If a user by mistake deletes a todo, you can give the privilege to restore it.

Source Code – To-Do List Skills Required – HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Dear Fellow developers, fasten your seat belt if you are doing projects in the sequence we advised you, till now you have done a total of 10 projects. This deserves appreciation!!

So far so good, however, all the projects we did till now are easy ones, it’s time to level up our web development skills and make some even better projects.

So you have been using one or the other browser extension for a long and did not know that they are made using JavaScript.

You can make extensions to make your day-to-day tasks well organized. As an example, you can make a notes extension that would let the user make a note directly in the browser without opening any other application. You can also build extensions like finding the meaning of any word that a user enters it would help users to read online.

Github Explorer

As a next step, you can make a GitHub explorer for yourself. This will fetch the details of the GitHub user just by entering his/her username. You can use the Github API to do so.

Using the API you can find details regarding the name of the user, the number of repositories, the number of followers, and so on.

In addition, upon clicking the username, you will be redirected to the GitHub profile.

Source Code – GitHub Explorer Skills Required – Promises in JavaScript, API

Weather Forecast Website

In this project, you will make a web application to check out the weather forecast for the current day and for the next few days. You will use an API to fetch real-time data and then add it to your application. The user will input his/her location and the weather forecast for the next 5 days will be displayed. In addition, a feature to automatically detect the location can add to the versatility of the project.

Source Code – Weather Forecast Skills Required – JavaScript, Node.js, ReactJS.

Link Shortener

In this project, you will be required to make an API to build short URLs. The functionality will be similar to bitly. Using Node, Express, and MongoDB you can make your own URL Shortener service. However, you can use any backend language also depending on your expertise. The project is not specific to any particular backend language.

Source Code – Link Shortener Skills Required – Node, MongoDB,JavaScript

Sorting Visualizer

The first step to learning Data Structures and Algorithms is to use Sorting Algorithms, they form the base for all the advanced topics ahead, However, it’s sometimes overwhelming to actually figure out how sorting algorithms work.

How about making a sorting visualizer?

A project that will help you to visualize how various sorting algorithms work. For example, in insertion sort, The array is virtually split into a sorted and an unsorted part. Values from the unsorted part are picked and placed at the correct position in the sorted part. This is something that college professors and all youtube instructors do in order to explain the concept. This is a great idea and making it live will help many students out there.

Source Code – Sorting Skills Required – HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Sorting Algorithms

Transcript Summarizer for Youtube

As a Computer Science student, you learn on a daily basis from videos, articles, documentation, and so on. A majority of learning happens through Youtube as well. PS Youtube also provides entertainment.

A lot of time can be saved if you can summarize the content of the youtube videos. In this project, you will be creating a Chrome Extension which will make a request to the backend REST API where it will perform NLP and respond with a summarized version of a YouTube transcript.

Building an online code editor and compiler seems too complicated, but we can break it down into two pieces.

API running on the backend server, which will take a piece of code and language as input and output the answer after running the code on the server Frontend code editor, we can choose the language and edit and modify the code here. Then we make a post request to the backend API and show output on the website.

Keeping it simple, in the front end part, you can add a simple dropdown menu for selecting the language of your choice. Whenever a language is selected, the corresponding event listener will be triggered.

10 Creative Website Design Ideas To Help When You’re Stuck

• Matan Naveh
• on Web Design Inspiration
• Updated on: 21.02.22

There are many reasons why you might feel stuck on a project. Perhaps your recent client is exceptionally vague about what they want and you’ve got no idea where to start. Or, perhaps, you feel burned out and uninspired after having worked non-stop for a long period of time. Or, maybe, you’ve been designing websites for the same type of clients with no opportunity to exercise your creative muscles. 

Whatever the reason is, feeling stuck is quite common when it’s your job to be creative. But, as long as you have a process to help you generate new web design ideas, you’ll be able to chip away at the roadblocks in front of you. 

In this article, we’re going to look at 10 things you can do to give your creativity a boost along with some resources you can bookmark for the next time you need it.

Table Of Contents

10 actionable web design ideas.

• 1. Put Together a Step-by-Step Process ​
• 2. Reacquaint Yourself With the Principles of Web Design ​
• 3. Research the Most Recent Design Trends ​
• 4. Zero In on One Tiny Element ​

5. Switch From Desktop to Mobile

• 6. Experiment With Extremes ​
• 7. Work on a Website in a Different Niche ​
• 8. Take a Course or Read a Tutorial ​
• 9. Look at Other Creative Works ​
• 10. Go for a Walk ​

When you’re feeling unmotivated, uninspired, or just plain stuck, here’s what you can do to get those fresh web design ideas flowing again:

1. Put Together a Step-by-Step Process

Working without a process can be extremely detrimental to a web designer’s flow — especially when you’re in the weeds, feeling overwhelmed and struggling to come up with something new. 

Rather than force your brain to work in overdrive all the time, create a step-by-step process that removes this unnecessary clutter from your brain. 

Better yet, create your plan and templatize it in your task management software so you can repurpose it for all your jobs. 

Trello , for example, is a free platform that makes documenting and organizing website projects super easy: 

By laying out the details for each job into a framework like this, you’ll free your brain from having to worry about or recall them. This should give you some space to start thinking creatively again. 

2. Reacquaint Yourself With the Principles of Web Design

When you’re trying to come up with creative web design ideas, it’s easy to get hung up on their newness. But no one ever said that in order for a website to be good it needs to be completely new. 

In fact, there’s a web design principle that deals with this subject. Jakob’s Law explains that: “Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know.”

If you find yourself obsessing over the newness or experimental nature of a website you’re working on, it’s a good idea to stop what you’re doing and go review the basics of good UX. By taking it back to the fundamentals, you’ll recenter your focus on what’s needed and then you can add creative touches later on if they make sense. 

Read up on the 20 most important web design principles.

3. Research the Most Recent Design Trends

If you’re having the opposite problem and struggling to take the next step after building out a solid foundation for your website, then spend some time researching recent design trends. 

The face of the web is always changing, so much so that it can be hard to keep up with all of the trends floating around. You never know what might happen if you start exploring them. 

You can start with Elementor’s roundup of the latest web design trends : 

• Elegant serif fonts​
• Playful typography effects​
• Light colors​
• Negative colors
• Black-and-white textured illustrations
• Black outlines
• Simple shapes
• Creative and atypical product photos​
• Collage art
• Seamless surrealism
• Hover gallery menus

In addition to getting explanations of what these trends are and why they work so well, you’ll find examples of websites that currently use them. Take some time to explore these sites and see what sort of inspiration unfolds. 

4. Zero In on One Tiny Element

Are you familiar with Hick’s Law ? This is another web design principle that can help you out. It states that: “The time it takes to make a decision increases with the number and complexity of choices.”

While this is certainly applicable to how you present options on a website, it’s just as relevant to what you’re dealing with now. Sometimes it’s hard to come up with new web design ideas when there are just too many things to consider at once. 

Creating a web design process will help with this. However, you can get even more granular with your focus. For example, rather than try to fill in all of the details at once on the Contact page:

Start by zeroing in on the most important element on the page: The contact form . 

It’s much easier to get started when you narrow your focus to just the contact form. As you begin to hash out the unique details of its design — typography and color choices, spacing, labels and placeholders, button design, and so on — you’ll find it easy to expand your attention to the rest of the page when you’re done with it.

There’s something else you can try if you’re feeling restricted creatively by how much (or little) space you have to work with. 

If you normally start designing from the desktop view, switch to a tablet or smartphone. Or if you’ve grown accustomed to starting with one of the smaller screens, scale up to desktop.

Switching to a different size canvas might be all you need to create the perfect vision for your website. 

This would also be useful if you’re having a hard time deciding how you want to format the text on the page. With desktop, it’s often hard to tell how long a header or paragraph really is. But once you scale it down the size of a smartphone screen, you’ll realize that more can be done to improve the readability and flow of a page. 

6. Experiment With Extremes

One reason you might be stuck on a particular website is that you haven’t found the perfect style for it. But rather than try to tweak the same idea you or your client started with, go to the extreme and see if that jogs something loose. 

The opposite style might not be the exact solution needed, but it could inspire you to repurpose something that does work and apply it to what you have so far. 

Here are some things you might experiment with: 

• One-page vs. multi-page site
• Photos vs. illustrations
• Retro vs. modern typography
• Text-only vs. image-heavy design
• Monochromatic vs. analogous color palette
• Animation vs. no animation

This could also be a really useful troubleshooting tactic if you’re tackling a website redesign and aren’t quite sure what kind of alternative design to try next.

7. Work on a Website in a Different Niche

There are a ton of benefits to niching down as a web designer . For starters, it’s much easier to make a name for yourself as a great designer if you build websites for a targeted group of people. It can also make your job easier as you’re not having to keep up with best practices and trends for every type of website you might be asked to build. 

That said, because you work on the same types of sites over and over again, it’s normal to feel nervous about running out of creative approaches for them. If you’re experiencing this, one way to get unstuck is by taking on a project outside of your niche. 

For example, if you build websites for financial services companies, you’re probably used to creating very buttoned-up designs that look like the one on the Popular Bank website:

There’s nothing wrong with designing websites that look like this for this niche. After all, when you’re looking for someone to protect your money, the last thing you want is a website that suggests they might not be that serious about it.

Now, let’s say you were to take on a website for a restaurant like Zuma : 

This kind of project would provide you with a nice change of pace. You’d have to come up with ways to nicely integrate menus, reservation systems, and lots of media into the design. You’d also get a chance to play around with more dramatic color palettes and fonts.

There’s no need to completely pivot your business to a new niche if you’ve been feeling burned out. Just take on a different project or two to challenge yourself. Giving yourself that outside experience might be all you need to bring the spark of creativity back into your regular work.

8. Take a Course or Read a Tutorial

Getting stuck on something because it’s too hard to build out or you’re unsure how to do it is always stressful. But rather than keep attempting the same painful or ineffective method you’ve used before, hit the “Pause” button and find out if someone has a better solution. 

You’ll find answers to a lot of design issues and hurdles on the web — even ones you might not have expected anyone else encountered. 

You can certainly use Google to see what’s out there. Places like StackOverflow and even Reddit might be helpful. However, more in-depth resources like courses and tutorials are going to be more helpful. Elementor has a couple of resources you might find useful as well. 

In this roundup of 17 online courses , you’ll find recommendations for web design and development courses that cover a wide range of topics — responsive web design, A/B testing , visual hierarchy and spacing, and more. 

If you’re struggling with typography, this collection of 20 typography tutorials will help. From the psychology of fonts to pairing them, most of the big questions related to font design have been answered here.

9. Look at Other Creative Works

There are a lot of places where you can find design ideas these days. Your email inbox. Your social media feed. The ads littering the sidebars of the websites and blogs you visit. 

But rather than run all over the place trying to find something that helps you out of a creative fog, find some bookmark-worthy design collection sites instead. You’ll spend less time hunting around for web design ideas and you’ll always have access to the latest and greatest in good, creative design. Here are some sites to start with:

You’ll find all kinds of creative work examples on Dribbble . Just don’t relegate yourself strictly to the “Web Design” section. Take a look at other works uploaded to the site and see what sort of unique designs you can find.

Behance is another site that’ll give you the chance to explore work in other areas, like photography, architecture, and fashion. What’s more, you’ll find video, audio, and animation here, so it’s not just static imagery you can draw inspiration from. 

If you’d prefer to get your inspiration from real websites, Awwwards.com is a good place to find them. Go to the menu and you’ll find a variety of collections of award-winning sites, pages, and components to inspire you.

Daily Design Inspiration Sites

There are a number of sites dedicated 100% to providing you with design inspiration, like Web Design Inspiration in the screenshot above. Siteinspire is another good one to bookmark specifically for web design ideas while Designspiration has inspiring works across a variety of genres.

Really Good Emails

Although Really Good Emails only rounds up the best of the best in email marketing design, these designs aren’t all that different from what you’d design for a site. And because they’re built for a slimmer space, you might get some ideas on how to be more concise with your designs.

10. Go for a Walk

Sometimes sitting in front of your computer is only going to make things worse when you’re feeling stuck or uncreative. According to a Stanford University study done in 2014 , walking boosts creative thinking. 

The study compared participants in both seated settings as well as a number of walking situations (e.g. on a treadmill, outdoors, etc.). It found that creative output increased by 60% when someone was walking. 

While this particular study found that it doesn’t matter whether you stay indoors or go outdoors to reap the benefits of walking, detaching from your technologies and heading outside is a good idea. 

A 2020 study out of Cornell University found that nature on its own has mind healing benefits as well. All that’s needed is 10 to 50 minutes of time spent in natural spaces to improve one’s focus, mood, blood pressure, and heart rate.

If you don’t have easy access to nature, that’s okay. You can still get inspired by your surroundings — building signage, vehicles passing you by, other people walking about, and so on.

Overcome That Designer’s Block With Great Web Design Ideas

When you design websites for a living, it’s only natural to get stuck from time to time. But rather than keep your head down and try to force the ideas to come, try something different. 

With the 10 brainstorming tips above, you’re sure to come up with some fresh and creative web design ideas that are perfect for your client’s website.

32 HTML And CSS Projects For Beginners (With Source Code)

updated Dec 4, 2023

If you want to feel confident in your front-end web developer skills, the easiest solution is to start building your own HTML and CSS projects from scratch.

As with any other skill, practicing on simple, realistic projects helps you build your skills and confidence step-by-step.

But if you are new to HTML and CSS, you may be wondering:

Where can I find ideas for beginner-level HTML and CSS projects?

Even if you are just starting out with HTML and CSS, there are some fun and easy projects you can create.

Whether you are new to learning web development or have some experience under your belt, this guide is the perfect place to start improving your skills.

In this article, I’ll walk you through 32 fun HTML and CSS coding projects that are easy to follow. We will start with beginner-level projects and then move on to more demanding ones.

If you want to become a professional front-end developer, the projects below will help you expand your portfolio.

When it’s time to apply for your first entry-level job, you can showcase your skills to potential employers with a portfolio packed with real-life project examples.

Let’s get started!

What are HTML and CSS?

HTML and CSS are the most fundamental languages for front-end web development.

Learning them will allow you to:

• Build stunning websites
• Start a coding blog
• Make money freelancing

Let’s take a quick look at both of them next:

What is HTML?

HTML or HyperText Markup Language is the standard markup language for all web pages worldwide.

It’s not a “typical” programming language – like Python or Java – since it doesn’t contain any programming logic. HTML can’t perform data manipulations or calculations, for example.

Instead, HTML allows you to create and format the fundamental structure and content of a web page.

You will use HTML to create:

• Page layouts (header, body, footer, sidebar)
• Paragraphs and headings
• Input fields
• Checkboxes and radio buttons
• Embedded media

Thus, HTML only allows you to determine the structure of a web page and place individual content elements within it.

For more details, check out my post on what HTML is and how it works .

You can’t format the look and feel of your web page with HTML, though.

Your HTML web page will look dull and boring. Sort of like this:

The example above is the first web page every built for the WWW , by the way.

This is how websites used to look in the ’90s. But we’ve come a long way since then – luckily.

To make your HTML content visually appealing and professional-looking, you need another language: CSS. Let’s look at that next.

What is CSS?

CSS or Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet language that allows you to adjust the design and feel of your HTML content.

Thus, you can turn your pure-HTML pages into stunning, modern websites with CSS. And it’s super easy to learn, too!

Here’s how it works:

CSS allows you to target individual HTML elements and apply different styling rules to them.

For example, here’s a CSS rule that targets H2 headings, their font-size property, and sets it to a value of 24px:

You can use CSS to adjust:

• Backgrounds
• Fonts and text styling
• Spacings (paddings, margins)
• CSS animations
• Responsiveness (media queries)

If you want to create stunning websites and become a front-end web developer, CSS is one of the first tools you must learn and master.

For more details, check out my post on what CSS is and how it works .

Why build HTML and CSS projects?

Practicing on realistic, hands-on projects is the best way to learn how to create something useful and meaningful with HTML and CSS.

The more projects you build, the more confident you will feel in your skills.

To build a web page from scratch , you need a basic understanding of how HTML works. You should be comfortable with writing the necessary HTML code to create a page without copying a boilerplate or following a tutorial.

Thus, if you want to become a front-end web developer , building HTML and CSS projects will teach you how to use these two languages in real life.

Therefore, practising your skills with the projects in this article will give you a competitive edge against anyone who’s simply following tutorials and copy-pasting other people’s code.

Finally, building HTML and CSS projects helps you build a professional portfolio of real-world projects.

When it’s time to start applying for your first job, you will have 10 to 20 cool projects to showcase your skills to potential employers. Not bad!

This image slider with navigation buttons and dots is a fantastic HTML and CSS project to practice your front-end web development skills:

See the Pen CSS image slider w/ next/prev btns & nav dots by Avi Kohn ( @AMKohn ) on CodePen .

Now, before you start building full-scale web pages with HTML and CSS, you want to set up your basic HTML and CSS website layout first.

The idea is to divide your page into logical HTML sections. That way, you can start filling those sections with the right elements and content faster.

For example, you can break up the body of your page into multiple parts:

• Header: <header>
• Navigation: <nav>
• Content: <article>
• Sidebar: <aside>
• Footer: <footer>

Depending on your project, you can fill the article area with a blog post, photos, or other content you need to present.

This layout project will serve as a starting point for all your future HTML and CSS projects, so don’t skip it.

Having a template like this will speed up your next projects, because you won’t have to start from scratch.

Here are two tutorials that will walk you through the steps of creating a basic website layout using HTML and CSS:

• https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_layout.asp
• https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_website_layout.asp

Building a tribute page is fantastic HTML and CSS practice for beginners.

What should your tribute page be about?

Anything you like!

Build a tribute page about something you love spending time with.

Here are a few examples:

• a person you like
• your favorite food
• a travel destination
• your home town

My first HTML-only tribute page was for beetroots. Yes, beetroots. I mean, why not?

HTML and CSS concepts you will practice:

• HTML page structure
• basic HTML elements: headings, paragraphs, lists
• embedding images with HTML
• CSS fundamentals: fonts and colors
• CSS paddings, margins, and borders

Here’s a helpful tutorial for building a HTML and CSS tribute page .

Whether you want to become a full-time web developer or a freelance web designer, you will use HTML forms in almost every project.

Forms allow you to build:

• Contact forms
• Login forms
• Sign up forms
• Survey forms

Building a survey page allows you to practice HTML input tags, form layouts, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more.

Pick any topic you like and come up with 10 pieces of information you want to collect from respondents.

Perhaps an employee evaluation form? Or a customer satisfaction form?

• form elements: input fields, dropdowns, radio buttons, labels
• styling for forms and buttons

Here’s an example survey form project for inspiration:

See the Pen Good Vibes Form by Laurence ( @laurencenairne ) on CodePen .

Let’s practice those HTML forms a bit more, shall we?

For this project, you will build a sign-up or log-in page with the necessary input fields for a username and a password.

Because we can create a user profile on almost every website, forms are absolutely essential for allowing people to set their usernames and passwords.

Your forms will collect inputs from users and a separate back-end program will know how to store and process that data.

Creating a clean and clear sign-up page can be surprisingly difficult. The more you learn about HTML and CSS, the more content you want to create to showcase your skills. But the thing is: a sign-up page needs to be as clean and easy-to-use as possible.

Thus, the biggest challenge with this project is to keep it simple, clear, and light.

Here’s an example project to get started with:

See the Pen Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form by Noel ( @WaterNic10 ) on CodePen .

For more inspiration, check out these 50+ sign-up forms built with HTML and CSS .

Using a HTML form is the best way to collect information from job applicants.

You can also generate and format a job description at the top of the page.

Then, create a simple job application form below to collect at least 10 pieces of information.

Use these HTML elements, for example:

• Text fields
• Email fields
• Radio buttons

Here’s an example job application page you can build with HTML and CSS:

See the Pen Simple Job Application Form Example by Getform ( @getform ) on CodePen .

One of your first HTML and CSS projects should be a simple landing page.

Your landing page can focus on a local business, an event, or a product launch, for example.

Landing pages play an important role for new businesses, marketing campaigns, and product launches. As a front-end developer, you will be asked to create them for clients.

For this project, create a simple HTML file and style it with CSS. Be sure to include a headline, some text about the company or its services, and a call-to-action (CTA) button.

Make sure that your landing page is clean and clear and that it’s easy to read.

If you build a landing page for a new product, highlight the product’s key benefits and features.

To get started, follow this freeCodeCamp tutorial to build a simple landing page . You will need JavaScript for a few features. If you are not familiar with JavaScript, leave those features out for now and come back to them later.

For more inspiration, check out these HTML landing page templates .

A product landing page is a page that you build to promote a specific product or service.

For example, if you want to sell your ebook about how to use CSS to build an animated website, then you would create a product landing page for it.

Your product landing page can be very simple to start with. When your skills improve, add some complexity depending on what kind of information you need to present.

One of the most iconic product landing pages is the iPhone product page by Apple, for example:

Of course, the iPhone landing page is technically complex, so you won’t build it as your first project. But still, it’s a good place to find inspiration and new ideas.

The best way to design your first product landing page is to create a simple wireframe first. Sketch your page layout on paper before you start building it.

Wireframes help you maintain a clear overview of your HTML sections and elements.

To get started, browse through these product landing page examples for some inspiration .

Building an interactive navigation bar will teach you how to create an animated menu with dropdowns using HTML and CSS.

This is another great project for beginners, because it will teach you how to create menus using HTML and CSS. You’ll also learn how to style them with different colors, fonts, and effects.

You’ll also learn how to use anchors and pseudo-classes to create the menu navigation, as well as how to create the dropdown menus from scratch.

If you aren’t familiar with CSS media queries yet, building a responsive navigation bar is a smart way to learn and practice them.

CSS media queries allow you to create a responsive navigation menu that changes its size and layout depending on screen width.

To get started, check out this tutorial on how to build an interactive navigation bar with HTML and CSS .

One of the best ways to practice your HTML and CSS skills is to create custom website headers. This is a great project to add to your portfolio website, as it will show off your skills and help you attract new clients.

There are a number of different ways that you can create a stylish and responsive website header. One option is to use a premade CSS framework such as Bootstrap or Foundation. Alternatively, you can create your own custom styles by hand.

No matter which option you choose, be sure to make your header mobile-friendly by using media queries. This will ensure that your header looks great on all devices, regardless of their screen size or resolution.

To get started, check out this simple example for a responsive HTML and CSS header .

If you’re looking to get into web development, one of the best HTML and CSS projects you can build is a simple restaurant menu.

Align the different foods and drinks using a CSS layout grid.

Add prices, images, and other elements you need to give it a professional, clean look and feel.

Choose a suitable color palette, fonts, and stock photos.

You can also add photos or a gallery for individual dishes. If you want to add an image slider, you can create one with HTML and CSS, too.

Here’s an example of a very simple restaurant menu project:

See the Pen Simple CSS restaurant menu by Viszked Tamas Andras ( @ViszkY ) on CodePen .

Once you’ve built your restaurant menu with, it’s time to tackle a more complex HTML and CSS project.

Building a real-life restaurant website is a fun way to practice a ton of HTML and CSS topics.

Not only will you learn the basics of creating a beautiful, professional web page, but you also get a chance to practice responsive web design, too.

And if you’re looking to land your first front-end web developer job, having a well-designed business website in your portfolio will help you stand out from the crowd.

Make sure your website matches the restaurant’s menu and target clientele. A fine-dining place on Manhattan will have a different website than a simple (but delicious!) diner in rural Wisconsin.

Here are a few key details to include on your restaurant website:

• Clear navigation bar
• Restaurant details
• Menu for food and drinks
• Location and directions
• Contact details
• Upcoming events

To get started, check out this free tutorial on how to build a restaurant website with HTML and CSS .

To build a parallax website, you will include fixed background images that stay in place when you scroll down the page.

Although the parallax look isn’t as popular or modern as it was a few years back, web designers still use the effect a lot.

The easiest way to build a parallax HTML and CSS project is to start with a fixed background image for the entire page.

After that, you can experiment with parallax effects for individual sections.

Create 3-5 sections for your page, fill them with content, and set a fixed background image for 1-2 sections of your choice.

Word of warning: Don’t overdo it. Parallax effects can be distracting, so only use them as a subtle accent where suitable.

Here’s an example project with HTML and CSS source code:

See the Pen CSS-Only Parallax Effect by Yago Estévez ( @yagoestevez ) on CodePen .

404 error pages are usually boring and generic, right?

But when a visitor can’t find what they’re searching for, you don’t want them to leave your website.

Instead, you should build a custom 404 error page that’s helpful and valuable, and even fun and entertaining.

A great 404 page can make users smile and – more importantly – help them find what they are looking for. Your visitors will appreciate your effort, trust me.

For some inspiration, check out these custom 404 page examples .

Any web developer will tell you that having a strong portfolio is essential to landing your first job.

Your portfolio is a chance to show off your skills and demonstrate your expertise in front-end web development.

And while there are many ways to create a portfolio website, building one from scratch using HTML and CSS will give you tons of valuable practice.

Your first version can be a single-page portfolio. As your skills improve, continue adding new pages, content, and features. Make this your pet project!

Remember to let your personality shine through, too. It will help you stand out from the crowd of other developers who are vying for the same jobs.

Introduce yourself and share a few details about your experience and future plans.

Employers and clients want to see how you can help them solve problems. Thus, present your services and emphasize the solutions you can deliver with your skills.

Add your CV and share a link to your GitHub account to showcase your most relevant work samples.

Make sure to embed a few key projects directly on your portfolio website, too.

Finally, let your visitors know how to get in touch with you easily. If you want, you can add links to your social media accounts, too.

In this project, you’ll create a simple blog post page using HTML and CSS.

You’ll need to design the layout of the page, add a title, a featured image, and of course add some content to your dummy blog post.

You can also add a sidebar with a few helpful links and widgets, like:

• An author bio with a photo
• Links to social media profiles
• List of most recent blog posts
• List of blog post categories

Once your HTML structure and content are in place, it’s time to style everything with CSS.

Photography website with a gallery

If you’re a photographer or just enjoy taking pictures, then this project is for you.

Build a simple photo gallery website using HTML and CSS to practice your web design skills.

Start with the basic HTML structure of the page, and figure out a cool layout grid for the photos. You will need to embed the photos and style everything beautiful with CSS.

My tip: Use CSS Flexbox and media queries to create a responsive galleries that look great on all devices.

Here’s a full tutorial for building a gallery website with HTML and CSS:

If you love music, why not practice your HTML and CSS skills by building a music store web page?

Before you start, make a thorough plan about your website structure. What’s the purpose of your music store? What genres will you cover?

Pick a suitable color palette, choose your fonts, and any background images you want to use.

My tip: If you feature album cover images, keep your colors and fonts as clean and simple as possible. You don’t want to overpower the album covers with a busy web page with tons of different colors and mismatching fonts.

Create a user-friendly menu and navigation inside the header. Fill the footer with helpful links for your store, career page, contact details, and newsletter form, for example.

Building a music store website with HTML and CSS is a great opportunity to practice your skills while you are still learning.

Start with very basic features, and add new ones as your skills improve. For example, you can add media queries to make your website responsive.

A forum is a great way to create a community around a topic or interest, and it’s also a great way to practice your coding skills.

In this project, you’ll create a simple forum website using HTML and CSS.

You’ll need to design the layout of the site, add categories and forums, and set up some initial content.

Of course, you should start with creating the basic layout and structure with HTML first. You will need a navigation bar, at least one sidebar, and an area for the main content.

To make your discussion forum website more interesting, add new content and remember to interlink related threads to make the site feel more realistic.

Event or conference web page

Creating a web page for an event is a fun HTML and CSS project for beginners.

You can either pick a real event and build a better landing page than the real one, or come up with an imaginary conference, for example.

Make sure to include these elements:

• Register button
• Venue details
• Dates and schedule
• Speakers and key people
• Directions (how to get there)
• Accommodation details

Divide the landing page into sections, and create a header and a footer with menus and quick links.

Come up with a suitable color palette, pick your fonts, and keep your design clean and clear.

Every programming language, software, device and gadget has a technical documentation for helpful information and support.

Creating a technical documentation website with just HTML and CSS allows you to build a multi-page site with hierarchies, links, and breadcrumbs.

The main idea is to create a multi-page website where you have a sidebar menu on the left, and the content on the right.

The left-hand side contains a vertical menu with all the topics your documentation covers.

The right-hand side presents the description and all the details for each individual topic.

For simplicity, start with the homepage and 2–3 subpages first. Come up with a clean layout and make sure your links are working properly.

Then, start expanding the website with additional sub-pages, content, and elements.

• HTML hyperlinks and buttons

Creating an online recipe book as an HTML and CSS project requires a similar setup than the previous project example.

You will need to create a homepage that serves as a directory for all your recipes. Then, create a separate subpage for each recipe.

If you want to challenge yourself, add recipe categories and create separate directory pages for each of them.

• embedding recipe photos

One of the best ways to practice HTML and CSS is to clone an existing web page from scratch.

Use your browser’s inspecting tools to get an idea of how the page is built.

As with any HTML and CSS project, start by creating the basic page template with:

Then, divide your page into sections, rows, and columns.

Finally, fill your page with individual elements like headings, paragraphs, and images.

Once the HTML content is in place, use CSS to style your page.

Start with something simple, like the PayPal login page.

Then move on to more demanding cloning projects, such as a news website. Try the BBC homepage, for example.

Becoming an in-demand web developer takes more than book knowledge. While it’s great that you made it through your first courses, experience is what it will take to succeed in the field. When you go in for an interview, you're almost guaranteed to be asked about what you’ve built outside the classroom.

Luckily, there’s no shortage of web development projects you can dive into and expand your current skill set. The more you practice what you’ve learned, the easier it will be to translate that to real-world requests from employers and clients.

If you are looking for web development project ideas, then this guide is for you. In this post we'll cover all things related to web development projects, including:

Why it's important for beginners to experiment with multiple web development projects

The skills needed to become a web developer

Web development project ideas for beginners

Web development project ideas for intermediates, why is it important for beginners to work with multiple web development projects.

Learning to build a variety of web projects helps prepare you to handle anything. It’s impossible to master every language or back-end framework. But exposing yourself to different project types and languages enables you to refine the most important skill a developer can have, problem-solving.

It pays to put in the work to grow your development muscles. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), the demand for web developers is expected to grow by 23% through 2031. The great thing about web development is that you don’t need a fancy degree to get into the field — only a commitment to improving and the drive to push through challenges.

Everything on our list below teaches you skills to apply to various other projects. You’ll better understand web design workflow and when to apply certain concepts. Use what’s here to sharpen your skills, then move on to more challenging development to continue testing your skills!

What skills are needed to become a web developer?

Web developers who excel have a good grasp of front-end and back-end languages. You’ll also need to have a good understanding of the following:

Developing web content

Working with client- and server-side scripting

Securing websites

Libraries and frameworks

Testing and debugging

Web hosting

Non-technical skills, including creative problem solving, organizational skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Web developers are responsible for building web page layouts. Today’s websites need user-friendly designs that adapt to different screen sizes. You’ll need to understand how to troubleshoot your websites using your problem-solving skills.

Below is the fundamental knowledge you'll need to have as a web developer:

JavaScript 

Using version control software like GitHub

Working with databases and servers

Back-end programming consists of two types of programming languages. Popular object-oriented languages include C#, Java, and Python. Functional languages widely in use by web developers include F# and Clojure.

1) Build a one-page layout

Single-page layout pages contain only one HTML page. You won’t find an About page or anything other than a Home page. Many developers go with single-page layouts to make the user experience more fluid and continuous for users. They move from one spot on the page to another using navigation links or scrolling down to look at different content sections.

Clients might hire you to design a single-page layout for a portfolio or event website. Businesses may call upon you to add a new page to their site. New coders can do this easily using vanilla JavaScript, PHP, HTML, or CSS.

Building single-page layouts lets you practice basic web layout skills like setting up columns, dividing pages into sections, and working with headers and footers. You also get the chance to use some creativity using images and color pallets. How you pad and align various elements makes a big difference in the look of your page.

2) Create mock landing pages

Landing pages are where you land whenever you click on a hyperlink. These standalone pages are designed to provoke a response from a visitor. For example, an e-commerce site might have a landing page for a project with visual prompts designed to encourage you to make a purchase. Other actions you might want from visitors include:

Downloading documents

Signing up for free product trials

Registering for webinars

Home pages are not the same as landing pages. The former typically contains navigation menus to help visitors get around the site. Landing pages usually have no menus at all. Visitors are encouraged to remain longer and click on a call-to-action button. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are essential skills for designing landing pages.

The main goal of landing pages is to convert site visitors based on a company’s goals. Some think of a conversion as getting someone to provide their email address, while others strictly look at purchases. Designing mock landing pages gives you a better sense of how to help companies achieve their stated conversion goals.

3) Make a background generator

The nice thing about designing a background generator project is that it is fun and not labor-intensive. Creating something like this helps you understand the basics of manipulating the DOM and making websites look more dynamic.

Every development project you tackle doesn’t need to be complicated. A background generator project is something you can use more than once. As a full-time developer, you might be called upon to build similar applications multiple times for different clients. Once you get the logic down through practice, it becomes a core skill you can set up quickly.

4) Create a Netflix clone using React

The best way to get used to a new JavaScript framework is by building something familiar. Netflix is one of the most well-known brands in the world. You can use your new React skills by building a clone of their site. Tackling this project helps you become more familiar with concepts like:

React elements

React components

React Router

Event handling

Form handling

Synthetic events

Make the project more challenging by deploying your React Netflix clone using Firebase, a Backend-as-a-Service tool that helps developers build quality applications . Learning to work with tools like Firebase is a bonus when making the React app.

5) Build a multiplayer game of Connect Four

One language beginners should practice as much as JavaScript is Python. You can do that by using the language to build a Connect Four multiplayer game. It helps to think about what you want to achieve, then work out the steps you’ll need before typing out your first line of code. That’s a good motto for any development project.

You get the chance to practice Python concepts like using Lists and the input() function. The challenge also comes from learning to apply your computational and creative skills to a web project. You’ll have to figure out how to structure data to make it easier to determine a winner. Other considerations include deciding which bits of logic need an individual function.

The versatility of the Python language makes it optimal to learn as a first language alongside JavaScript. The language is concise, reads easily, and looks great when you include it as part of your programmer stack. Python is also great for building data science and software applications.

Fix it faster with clearer bug reports

Use our free bug tracking template to help your team log, track, and complete issues with ease.

6) Create a URL-shortening tool

Building a URL-shortening tool is an excellent way to learn to work with third-party application programming interfaces (APIs). Essentially, a user enters a valid URL, then clicks a button or link requesting to shorten it. The final shortened URL should display back to the user.

The basic presentation elements of the project include the following:

A text input for the user to add their URL

A button or link that triggers the action to “shorten” the link

A display area for the shortened link for the user to copy and use as needed

Choose a web development language or framework you wish to become more adept at using. You can use stacks like Angular, React, and Vue to call your choice of API to shorten the URL. To make it harder, you can develop unique logic to shorten the URL within your web application. You can also build your URL-shortening tool using JavaScript or Python.

Are you an intermediate web developer looking to take your skills to the next level?

At this point, you've probably already completed most (if not all) of the projects in the beginners list above. Thankfully, there are plenty of project ideas that will put the knowledge you've learned so far to the test. Try out the options below to stretch your web dev skills to the limit.

1) Make a quiz/study app

Building quizzes or study apps are good ways to master a new language. You can use PHP, HTML, and CSS to develop your project. Use PHP to design the page template with a question-and-answer form for your questions and answers. You’ll need a second form to present solutions back to a user and a score.

Again, PHP is only a recommendation. You could do the same in another language like Python, Java (NOT JavaScript), or Rust. It’s about expanding your skillset and becoming comfortable with building different types of projects.

2) Build and launch a login authenticator

Login authenticators are essential to helping businesses protect their servers and keep out unauthorized users. It’s probably one of the critical skills you’ll need if you plan to focus on business website development. Authenticators make users complete an authentication process to prove their identity. They are only allowed access once they provide the correct information.

It’s up to you which language you choose for the project. JavaScript is always a great choice if you’re looking to expand your skills in that area. However, you can use any back-end language to build your login authenticator, including C# and PHP. Your goal should be to keep anyone out of a site if they can’t prove their identity.

3) Make a JavaScript quiz game

Try building a quiz game using only JavaScript. Building the basic game framework from scratch can be a challenge for beginners. Creating a quiz game is one of the worthiest projects you can tackle. You’ll have to build a web page containing multiple-choice options for answers. Users must make their selections, submit answers, and see them displayed back.

You can use HTML for structure and CSS to make it interactive and appealing. Use JavaScript to build your detection engine. It should be able to determine if users picked the correct answer and show them the results. A JavaScript quiz game is also an excellent opportunity for beginning developers to get more familiar with using arrays, DOM manipulation, and setting up event listeners.

Notice a theme here? As you can see, JavaScript is an awesome and flexible language. We consider it a core skill for any developer to learn. It’s hard to think of anything you can’t build using JavaScript.

4) Build an SEO-friendly website

Search engine optimized (SEO) websites get more visibility in organic search results. The goal is to have a website pop up when a user enters specific phrases into a search engine like Google or Bing. Getting to the top of search results draws more traffic, representing an opportunity for businesses to achieve more conversions through their websites.

Developers typically focus on the look of a site and its functionality. While you don’t have to become a full-blown marketing guru, it pays to have a grasp of SEO and how to apply it to websites . Use this project to practice setting up user-friendly URLs, integrate responsive design, and include technical SEO elements to help strengthen a brand’s online presence. Or you can even use e-commerce platforms for your website SEO .

SEO planning template

5) Create a “two-truth and a lie” game with Slackbot

Building a Slackbot project offers a nice change of pace from standard website development. You can program Slackbots, or Slack chatbots, to handle queries from people, including the two truths and a lie game you will be building.

You’ll also need to know JavaScript and NodeJS to build your application. The goal is to initiate a game whenever someone new joins a Slack channel. Your new Slackbot will need to support the following functions to encourage everyone in the channel to get to know each other better.

Send notifications when a new user joins a channel.

Prompt the new user to tell everyone two truths and a lie.

Ask other users to identify the lie in the new user’s statement.

Send notifications to all members about whether they had the correct guess.

Kanban board view

6) Build a weather forecasting app using APIs

Get more practice with APIs by building a weather forecasting app using JavaScript. Building this project will also give you more familiarity with using AJAX components. You’ll also get another chance to practice your JavaScript, JQuery, and HTML layout skills.

Below are the basics of what the user should be able to accomplish with your weather app:

Enter the name of a city.

Provide a specific location.

Click a button or link to generate the action.

Call a weather API and bring back results for the user.

The Road Ahead in Web Development

Understanding the basics: what is html.

Before I dive into the exciting world of HTML projects, I want to share why grasping the basics of HTML is crucial. HTML , which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the foundational building block of the web. It’s not a programming language, but a markup language that I use to define the structure and layout of a web page through various elements and tags.

To me, HTML is like creating a framework for web content, similar to how an architect designs a building's blueprint. You would use tags to mark up text, insert images, create links, and lay out web pages in a format that browsers can understand and display. These tags , the basic units of HTML, help differentiate between headings, paragraphs, lists, and other content types, giving the web its versatile and user-friendly nature.

Every web developer starts somewhere, and for many, including myself, that starting point is HTML. It's a language that empowers me to create, experiment, and develop various digital experiences . So, as we embark on these beginner projects, remember that you're not just learning a new skill. You are stepping into a world full of endless possibilities and opportunities.

Web developers must continuously learn about the latest UX trends and apply them to their work.

The Rise of Mobile-First Development: With the increasing use of smartphones for internet access, mobile-first design is no longer an option but a necessity. This approach involves designing websites for smaller screens first and then scaling up to larger screens, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices.

Web Accessibility and Inclusivity: Making the web accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities, is a growing focus. This includes following best practices and guidelines for web accessibility, ensuring that websites are usable by everyone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

Additionally, the development of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) is blurring the lines between web and mobile apps, offering offline capabilities and improved performance.

Continuous Learning: The only constant in web development is change. Continuous learning and adaptation are key to staying relevant in this field. Whether it's learning new programming languages, frameworks, or design principles, the ability to evolve with the industry is critical for any web developer.

As you continue on your path in web development, remember that each project is a step towards mastering this ever-changing discipline. Embrace the challenges, stay curious, and keep building, for the road ahead in web development is as exciting as it is limitless.

We will automate the procedure of collecting the submission request using this extension.
• Codechef is a popular forum for budding coders to practice their coding skills. When utilizing Codechef, its servers are frequently overburdened, causing our submissions to take a long time to be validated by the judge and wasting time checking for results repeatedly.

Additionally, you must create a README.md file before publishing your repository to Github. This project is simple to build and is beginner-friendly. Utilizing React features will inspire you to develop more excellent ideas to the point where you can create a feature-rich web editor.
• Even though writing is a hobby, it has become necessary for people to make blog entries and express themselves. To accomplish this, you’ll need to write a markdown and have it rendered as HTML. Markdown is a web-based text formatting system. The document’s presentation is under your control. Words can be bolded or italicized, images can be included, and lists can be made, to name a few things we can do with Markdown.
• We can effectively utilize the operating system’s resources if we have a solid knowledge of data structures. How we use the fundamental data structures as they are significantly built impacts things like application responsiveness. You will construct this project using Typescript and the React library.

• Chromakeying, often called color keying, identifies a specific color in an electronic file and makes it transparent with computer programs. This enables the appearance of another image, which could be anything you can think of. This project requires the actual application of each HTML, CSS, and JS language. The simplicity and speed of these programming languages make them a good fit for this tech stack.
• Hollywood studios use green screens to create a wide range of stunning special effects. Your local weathercaster uses it to make it appear as if they’re standing in front of a cool weather map. Build a web application that takes a webcam video with a green screen and replaces it with a background video or a picture of your choice to understand the secret behind the effects.
• This project will offer you hands-on knowledge of the React library. There are currently many stacks and technologies to master in full-stack development, and it is pretty simple to become overburdened and sidetracked. Among the most widely used Frontend libraries is React, which is utilized by numerous businesses, including Facebook, Pinterest, Uber, Instagram, and many more.

• We’ve all used WhatsApp online on our computers. Have you considered making it yourself? The interface we’ll create for our project will be similar. The real-time database of Firebase will provide you with a smooth messaging capability.
• Email has been a popular mode of communication.  But the uncomfortable fact is that because they are utilized so vigorously, it is challenging to keep up with them. Additionally, consumers frequently subscribe to fresh newsletters, which furthers this issue. So, we can create a tool that will scoop up the detailed information from our inbox folder upon a query to simplify our lives. Twilio is a reliable platform that offers us the tools we need to complete this. It is an automation tool or platform for messages, emails, calls, and notifications. Some of its characteristics will be used in this project.
• Due to our hectic schedules, we normally don’t have time to keep up with our emails. Therefore, we’ll be working on a project to set up WhatsApp alerts for recent emails.
• We can build a responsive front-end for this project using the Streamlit library, which frees up the time to concentrate on the real back-end and the solutions we want to offer. Python beginners should start with this project since it provides a fundamental understanding of using APIs and associated Python frameworks.
• This project will assist you if you want to visualize weather data or use OpenWeatherMap APIs. Stream light, a low-code front end for Data Scientists, is also used in this project.

6. Mood Tracking App

Mental health awareness is on the rise. People use their phones every day, so it seems like a good website idea to make a web app that allows people to track their moods.

Web apps can be used to help people understand their moods and write how they feel. People are using these kinds of health web apps to work on their own mental health.

Focus on goal setting, progress, and allowing people to work towards a better mind. Mental wellness is very important and can take many different forms – a blog-based site, goal tracking or motivational posts, etc.

7. Habit & Time Tracking Web App

No matter what kind of area of the tech industry you work in, everything can become overwhelming and very stressful. That is why habit and time tracking websites are becoming more popular.

Without organization, people become an unorganized mess – without clarity, there is no clear path someone can take. A web app that can help people track goals, tasks, and daily habits can keep people organized and on target for what they need to do.

These end up being high-value apps that keep people productive, very easy to monetize if you create something people require every day.

8. Remote Jobs Board

The job market is huge and with remote-based jobs on the rise, the job board industry is exploding. A lot of current job websites are not tailored towards remote work. Their search system might not be great, remote features are not listed correctly and remote interviewing tools are lacking.

This space is ripe for disruption and new ideas. Both the employee and the employer side of things are keen for new change as well, especially when you consider remote-focused websites.

People are deciding to work remotely where they can, some even travel the world while they work. This industry is asking for so many tools which are adapted to remote work. You could even focus on a site that pairs remote workers up with remote working spaces… So many ideas for this one.

9. Personal Blog

More and more people are seeing the value of long-form content. This usually comes in the form of blogs. While sites like Twitter are still popular, people are showing off their writing skills and using Twitter to promote them to their followers. That’s why having a professional portfolio is quite important .

A lot of people are even making their own personal blog platforms . Custom themes, personal website templates , and comment systems are just a few features people are working on. It is all about making your blog stand out – one sure start way is to build your own blog publishing platform.

It is also a website idea you can earn money from as well – With the likes of email newsletters and long-form content, readers can subscribe or view ads while reading your blog posts. You just need the passion for something and a niche to start off with. It would be fairly easy to build something cool with PHP and MySQL with a minimal frontend.

10. Company Landing Page

Maybe you already have a company? If so, you will need an online website; if you don’t, then you are missing out. Even a new year redesign can help bring new life into your company.

Build a new beautiful startup website and show off your products or services knuckle down on SEO and attract new customers through search engines. A well-designed site will impress users and bring more sales.

Check out these 20 Great Product Landing Pages Examples to get inspiration or these BootStrap Landing Page Templates to avoid starting your web from scratch.

Customers will expect you to have an up-to-date website, so maybe it is time to create one, bring some new life to your existing site, or catch potential customers by creating a squeeze page for your company.

Like with building anything, there are tools and things you need to consider before you begin. Website building is supported by numerous online courses. If you need to learn more before you can start, a quick Google search should get you going. We have also set a list to help you get set up right:

1. Project Name

Sometimes the most time-consuming part of starting a project – the name! It has to be just right or else the rest of the project will feel off. It is best to brainstorm many different names, ask a friend or family member what they think (be prepared for some criticism, though)

Once you have your name, even if you think it is perfect, your website idea will need a domain name – and it may not always be available. Use an online domain availability checker to see if your domain is free. Sometimes you might have to consider a different TLD extension: you don’t always need the .com domain.

2. Colour Palette

Like every business or successful brand, they all have a look and feel to them. One thing which defines them from another is their color choices. Work on a design, pick some colors and create a color palette.

The color palette will come in handy when you design wireframes and come to actually build the website idea – stick to a house style. You may want to create a mood board to get your design ideas across.

There are many reasons to choose a white background for your website , so you might despise other bright colors that you have in mind…

Also what kind of design do you want? You can pick a flat design or something more towards realism and lots of graphics.

3. Goal & Purpose

Before you begin designing and definitely building your website idea, consider the purpose of your project – this helps define certain goals and project features. It is important to consider things like the target audience and use cases.

A website that is going to be built for profit will have different needs compared to a website just built for fun. Take into account any research you may need to complete to understand how your end project will be used by others.

4. Website Platform

Finally, the platform – this is the foundation of your website. Will you build everything from scratch or will you choose a framework? This area can be complicated, you have both frontend and backend technologies to consider.

You could use a platform like WordPress to build your website idea – this won’t suit everyone though and that is fine. It just depends on your skills and uses case. Ask yourself what features will I have to build and if there are tools out there to help you already.

For example, there is a website builder called Elementor – You could easily use this to build a restaurant website that features a fancy menu, customer reviews, and even a table booking feature. Elementor has many features and comes with a lot of plugins you can use. This is a great example of why you have to research which platform you want to build your website idea on, it allows you to understand what you have to build yourself and when you can use a library to help you.

A cool library with which you can build websites is fullPage.js – A JavaScript library that you can use to build beautiful and amazing full-screen scrollable websites. Available for WordPress editors like Gutenberg and the already mentioned Elementor .

More people each year decide to start their own website: for some, it provides a side income and maybe a full-time job, for others, it is about fun and creativity. Whatever the reason is, I hope this article inspired you to take up a new website idea for 2022.

Just be aware of the things to consider beforehand. They will help improve success and planning before the building is always key. Good luck and have fun with your website idea!

17 Best Website Ideas For Beginners In 2024 (+ Examples)

Planning to launch a website this year? Here are the best website ideas for beginners.

Thousands of entrepreneurs are making significant incomes from their websites—and you could be one of them.

It’s easier than you think to get started. You don’t have to be a skilled web developer or have a ton of money to invest. Thanks to modern website builders, CMS solutions, and ecommerce platforms, anyone can build a professional website from scratch in less than an hour. 

The hard part is coming up with an idea.

That’s why in this post, we’ll be sharing 17 of the best website ideas for beginners, alongside some real-life examples.

We’ve included a mixture of tried-and-tested website niches that are always profitable, as well as some more unique, underexplored ideas that you might not have considered. And we’ve also thrown in some tips to help you get started.

1. Niche blog

Blogs are content-driven websites on which you regularly publish useful and informative articles on topics related to your chosen niche (i.e. marketing, food, lifestyle, fitness, pet, fashion blog, etc.). 

They’re one of the most straightforward types of websites you can create, and are super easy to manage, which makes them a great choice for beginners. And they can also be incredibly profitable if you get them right.

The idea is to regularly write and publish blog posts that are SEO-optimized around a keyword that your target audience searches for. You’ll be aiming to get these posts to rank on the first page of Google for a bunch of popular search terms, thus driving organic traffic to your website.

Then, you can monetize that website traffic to start earning money online from your blog. There are many monetization methods you can try, but one of the best is to sign up for an affiliate program and earn commissions by promoting those affiliate offers to your readers. 

Professional bloggers earn 42% of their income through affiliate marketing like this, but you can also earn money through ad placements, sponsored posts, etc.

You’re looking at an example of a niche blog website right now! 

Blogging Wizard is a blog all about blogging (obviously), marketing, and building your online business. 

We get thousands of visits every month, and our readership mainly consists of beginner bloggers, SEOs, and entrepreneurs. 

If you want to learn how to create your own personal blog website, you can start by reading our step-by-step tutorial .

And if you want to make your blog a success and learn how to generate a ton of traffic, you’ll want to check out our guide on how to promote your blog .

2. Ecommerce store

Ecommerce stores are websites through which you sell products. Global ecommerce sales were expected to reach almost $5 billion last year , so now’s the perfect time to create your own and claim your share of the pie.

You can sell any type of product you want through your ecommerce website: homeware, clothing, accessories… you name it.

Maybe you’ve got a photography website and want to sell your Art, or a music website production website who wants to start selling music beats, or project templates?

If you don’t want the hassle of managing inventory and shipping, you can just sell digital products like ebooks, templates, audio files, etc.

You can build your online store in minutes using an ecommerce platform like Sellfy . All you have to do is sign up, add your products, and customize the look and feel of your store. Then, connect a payment processor like Stripe or PayPal and you’re ready to start selling.

It comes with all the tools you need to manage your business including marketing features that can help you to drive sales. And it’s built specifically for creators, so it’s super easy to use even if you’re a complete beginner.

Here’s an example of a successful Sellfy store selling digital downloads.

Headfonts sells downloadable font files and licenses to brands and designers. The great thing about this business model is that you never have to worry about running out of stock, and there are zero manufacturing costs.

You only have to create the font once and you can sell it as many types as you like. 

3. Print-on-demand site

Print-on-demand is a specific type of ecommerce store. Instead of selling regular inventory or digital files through your website, you’ll be selling custom merchandise printed with your own designs/artwork. Think printed tees, mugs, tote bags; that sort of thing.

But here’s the cool thing: Your supplier handles fulfillment for you and ships products directly to the customer, on-demand, as orders come in.

That means you don’t have to purchase or hold any stock up-front, so there’s very little initial investment required to get up and running. And it simplifies your operations. You don’t have to worry about fulfillment so you can focus on driving sales.

To set up a print-on-demand website, you’d usually need to build your online storefront with an ecommerce platform and then integrate it with a print-on-demand fulfillment provider like Printify .

But there’s a much easier way—you can just sign up for Sellfy .

Sellfy is the only ecommerce platform we’ve seen that offers native print-on-demand fulfillment services. So you can just sign up, create a website, choose the products you want to sell from Sellfy’s catalog, upload your designs to them, then import them into your product catalog and start selling.

When you make a sale, Sellfy will fulfill the order for you and then bill you for the base costs of the product and fulfillment later. You set your own retail prices so you’re in control of the profit margins.

Classic Dad is an example of a print-on-demand store that’s really nailed down its chosen niche.

They’ve carved out their own space in the market by selling custom tees printed with hilariously accurate ‘Dadisms’. They know exactly who their target buyers are and have created effortlessly simple products that are sure to appeal to them.

4. Dropshipping store

Dropshipping stores are online stores that use a similar fulfillment method to print-on-demand. In both cases, you sell products at retail price, then forward the order to a supplier and pay them the wholesale price, and let them ship the order to the customer for you.

But with dropshipping, instead of selling merchandise printed with your designs, you’ll be selling regular products.

The advantage of starting a dropshipping store is that it’s a low-cost business venture that costs very little to start as you don’t need to hold stock. The disadvantage is that profit margins tend to be lower than in regular ecommerce stores.

You can use one of these dropshipping providers to start your own dropshipping website and find products/suppliers. We’d recommend Spocket .

Meowingtons is an example of a successful dropshipping store targeting the pet (specifically, cat) market. 

It sells a mix of print-on-demand merch and dropshipped products like cat toys and perch trees. They’ve really nailed their website design—the branding is on-point. And they’ve even got their own website blog, which no doubt helps drive organic traffic to their store so they can make more sales.

5. Multi-vendor marketplace

Instead of selling your own products, you could create your own online marketplace and let other retailers sell products through your website instead, then take a cut of the profits.

That’s exactly what websites like Amazon and Etsy do, and just look at how successful they are. 

The Amazon marketplace is the biggest ecommerce site in the world and generates over $400 billion in annual sales.

To start your own marketplace, you’ll need to use a multi-vendor ecommerce platform like Shuup or CS-Cart. Alternatively, you can use a regular ecommerce platform and integrate it with a multi-vendor management plugin.

For example, you could build your store on BigCommerce and then use the Webkul app to turn it into a multi-vendor marketplace.

Yumbles is a multi-vendor marketplace built on CS-Cart. It connects indie food and drink makers in the UK to customers.

It’s been super successful and to date, has over 1,200 merchants and 7,000 products.

6. Online course website

Are you an expert in a certain topic? Got any skills that others might want to learn? If so, why not start your own eLearning website and start selling online courses?

Creating an online course website is easy thanks to platforms like Thinkific . 

You can use these online course platforms to create your website and landing pages, build your course curriculum (add lessons, modules, etc.), manage your learners, and sell access through one-off payments or subscription memberships.

There are many different types of online courses you can sell. 

For example, you might want to sell drip courses, in which content is delivered to your subscribers at set intervals (as opposed to giving them complete access to everything straight away).

Or you might want to offer cohort-based courses, in which all your students learn at the same time. In that case, it’s worth choosing a platform that lets you set up your own community space for students to interact with their peers and share knowledge.

The best online course platforms let you add all sorts of multimedia content to your lessons. You might create text-only courses or create video courses. And you might want to upload downloadable learning resources like templates, worksheets, and PDF instructions to your lessons.

VR Dev School is a cool example of an online course website built through the Teachable platform.

The website offers courses that teach people how to create virtual reality games and online experiences for emerging technologies like the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard.

7. Membership website

Membership websites are sites where people can pay for subscriptions to access exclusive, members-only content. 

For example, your membership website might include a members-only forum space where your subscribers can interact. 

And you can bundle that up with other perks, like exclusive content, livestream access, etc.

To build your membership website, you can use a subscription ecommerce platform like Podia . Or alternatively, you can build your site on WordPress and then install a WordPress membership plugin .

Mythical Society is a membership website created by popular YouTubers Rhett & Link (from the channel Good Mythical Morning)

Fans of the show can join Mythical Society to access exclusive video content and behind-the-scenes footage, as well as unique merchandise and other perks.

It’s been a huge success for the YouTubers and provided them with a lucrative new way to monetize their audience outside of the YouTube platform.

8. Job board

Online job boards are websites that connect employers to job seekers. 

They’re fairly straightforward to build: You just need a way to let employers post job listings and a page to list them on. 

And they’re also easy to monetize. You can earn money through referral fees or by charging users for preferential job ad placement. For example, you could let users post job ads for free to get some traction but charge people to place those ads at the top of the page for maximum visibility.

Problogger is a great example of a successful online job board. Take a look at the job listings page of their website:

As you can see, there are dozens of job listings posted every month. And given that the website charges a decent amount for companies to post a job ad, it’s safe to assume they’re making thousands of dollars in monthly revenue for little effort.

Part of the reason for Problogger’s success is that they targeted a very specific niche: Freelance writers. This was an undersaturated market so they were quickly able to become one of the leading job boards in the space.

9. Review website

Review websites are similar to blogs. But instead of posting how-to content, listicles, and other blog posts, review websites exclusively focus on posting product review articles.

The most successful review websites target a specific niche. For example, you could write reviews of headphones, gaming chairs, mattresses… pretty much anything goes.

Review websites can be super lucrative, for two reasons:

First off, product reviews are always in-demand. Hundreds of new products are released every day, and there are always going to be people searching for reviews of those products—so review websites have plenty of longevity.

And secondly, they’re very easy to monetize. When you review a product, you can add an affiliate link that readers can click to buy the product (or if it gets a bad review, suggest a better product that you’re an affiliate for). Then if your readers click through and make a purchase, you’ll earn a commission on the sale.

TechRadar is one of the most well-known—and successful—review websites out there. It focuses exclusively on tech products like computing, home entertainment, gadgets, etc.

TechRadar has been so successful that it reaches over 70 million readers and has become the most authoritative website in the space, with a domain authority score of over 90 (according to Moz). And as a result, it dominates the search results for tech product reviews.

10. News website

The most successful online news websites get an insane amount of website traffic, so why not start your own?

You can start small by focusing on a specific news niche. For example, you could publish the latest Astronomy news or news about your favorite football club. Then once you start growing your readership, you could consider expanding.

There are plenty of ways to monetize your news website. One of the easiest ways is to partner with an ad network and earn money based on ad views and clicks.

Search Engine Land is a good example of a small news website that’s incredibly successful.

It’s focused on the SEO and marketing niche and provides marketers with the latest search news. For example, it regularly publishes articles notifying SEOs about algorithm updates.

11. Browser-based online game

Here’s another great website idea. If you have some programming skills, you could create your own browser-based online game and monetize it.

It doesn’t have to be anything super advanced. There are some really basic websites out there featuring super-simple games that get millions of visitors and make thousands of dollars every week by monetizing their users.

There are a lot of examples we can look at here, but Geoguessr is one of the best.

The idea behind the game is super simple. The website randomly selects a point on Google Maps and ‘drops’ you there. You then have to figure out where in the world you’ve been dropped as quickly as you can, and score points for speed and accuracy.

It’s not exactly very advanced. At its core, it’s just a simple script that selects a random point on Google Maps. So it didn’t take a huge developer team months to create it. In fact, it was created by one man: Anton Wallén in 2013—and it went instantly viral.

It’s been played by some of the biggest gaming YouTubers and streamers and is one of the most successful browser-based games of the last decade.

12. Online tool 

This is another one that requires a certain degree of programming knowledge, but it can be super lucrative if you get it right.

If you can build an online tool that people use, you can generate tons of traffic and earn yourself a nice passive income.

For example, it could be something as simple as a tax calculator or ROI calculator . It could be a tool that automatically capitalizes words. Or even a basic image editor that automatically removes an image background.

The possibilities are endless.

Soovle is an online tool designed to help marketers with keyword research. We included it in our roundup of the best keyword research tools .

It’s a simple, fun, and free tool that automatically pulls search suggestions from search engines like Google, Bing, and YouTube.

13. Social network

What do Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and Zhang Yiming all have in common? They all created social media websites and are now billionaires as a result.

Social networks command a good chunk of internet traffic. Over half the global population is on social media and, on average, users spend over 2 hours a day on their favorite social networks.

If you can start your own social media website that’s even a tiny fraction as successful as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., you can quickly become a multi-millionaire. 

But obviously, starting a successful social network is no easy feat. It’s a lot more difficult than starting a blog or ecommerce store. You’ll need a great idea, some programming skills to bring it to life, and a solid marketing strategy to attract users.

Untappd is a cool example of a new, niche social network that caters to a smaller audience. 

The idea behind it is to ‘make drinking social’. Users can create a profile and share what they’re drinking and where they’re drinking with their friends, earning badges along the way as they explore new brews and locations.

14. Novelty website

Novelty websites are a category all on their own. Basically, these are weird and wonderful websites that do something unique.

On account of their weirdness, they tend to generate a ton of publicity and have lots of viral potential. This can help drive lots of website traffic, which you can then monetize through ads and other strategies.

It’s easier to illustrate exactly what we mean by ‘novelty website’ with an example, so let’s look at a few.

Pointer Pointer is a great example of a weird novelty website. Try clicking it and moving your cursor around the screen to see what happens.

Wherever you place your cursor, the website generates a random image of someone pointing directly at it. It’s mind-blowing and a little disconcerting, which is why it’s gone viral more than once.

Eel Slap is an even weirder humor website that’s managed to generate hundreds of thousands of likes on social media and millions of website visits.

The premise is gloriously simple. You just move your cursor across the screen to ‘slap’ someone with an eel.

15. Recipe website

Are you a talented chef? If so, why not create your own portfolio website and share your culinary creations with the world?

There are lots of food websites that share recipes out there, but there’s still room for more. 

To stand the best chance of cutting through the noise and getting traffic, focus on a specific niche, conduct careful keyword research to see what recipes people are searching for, and start there.

Once you start getting traffic, you can monetize it by releasing your own digital cookbook and promoting it to your audience.

Pinch of Yum is a great example of a cooking/recipe website done right.

It was created by former teacher-turned-website-owner Lindsay and gets thousands of visitors every month.

16. Language learning website

If you’re a talented polyglot, why not share your language learning tips and strategies with other learners through your website?

You could use an online course builder to create a full-fledged language tuition course, or just regularly publish blog posts with tips and tricks.

To monetize your traffic, you could sell courses or learning resources like language flashcards and memorization tools.

Tofugu is a language-learning website targeted at people who want to learn Japanese.

They regularly publish posts about Japanese topics to help people who want to live in Japan or just speak the language. Those posts include everything from news stories to in-depth grammar guides, textbook reviews, interviews, and more.

17. Quiz site

Everybody loves a quiz.

You can use a quiz maker like Interact to build your own personality quizzes, trivia quizzes, and other types of interactive content and then host them on your website.

The cool thing about this is that quizzes have a lot of viral potential—they practically market themselves. All you have to do is give users the option to share the results with their friends to drive a ton of referral traffic.

And you can monetize them by asking users to opt-in to your mailing list to get their results. Then you can monetize your mailing list through affiliate promotions, solo ads, etc.

However, in the case of this website ideas, I wouldn’t recommend making your website just about quizzes. Quizzes work best when combined with other content types. They’d make a great addition to any blog, for example.

Harry Potter fan site Wizarding World has several online quizzes that are super popular.

Users can take part in the quizzes to discover their Hogwarts House, test their knowledge of the franchise, and more.

Final thoughts

That concludes our roundup of the best website ideas for beginners in 2022.

Still not sure what type of business website to build? Here’s what we’d suggest:

• Start with a blog if you’re a complete beginner. It’s the most straightforward type of website you can create, which makes it a good choice while you’re still learning the ropes. Plus, if you can generate enough traffic and monetize it effectively, blogs can be very lucrative.
• Create an ecommerce store if you already have a product idea. You can build your storefront in minutes using a platform like Sellfy and sell digital products, physical inventory, or print-on-demand merch.
• Make an online course website if you have knowledge that’s in demand and you want an easy way to earn a recurring revenue stream. You can set up your course website with Thinkific and sell access to your course content for one-off fees or subscription payments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Web development is a process that involves creating websites. Web development is the process of creating websites. It involves several steps, including the analysis of the information architecture, design, and development of user interfaces and business logic. The result of these steps is a set of instructions (in the form of code) that a web server can understand and serve properly to a web browser. Web development is also called web design or Internet development. Web development tasks may overlap with web design, user experience design (UX design), information architecture, user interface design, and other types of software development.

With CSS, webmasters can style text and present information from an HTML page. A webmaster can customize how an HTML page looks by using the class, id, and the tag attributes. By using CSS, one can style his web page in a very flexible manner. This is the primary use of CSS. With the aid of CSS, one can optimize page loading times, by reducing the number of HTTP requests. CSS can also be used to help web pages be compatible with various browsers.

HTML is used to create the structure of your page, and it can contain some JavaScript functions within its body. This is a way to embed JavaScript in the page. For example, JavaScript can be used to create a dynamic page. However, embedding JavaScript in HTML files is not recommended because the scripts will be contained in the HTML files forever. If you want to change the scripts, you have to edit HTML. If you want to update the script, you have to update the HTML as well. Moreover, if the script is embedded in HTML, it will work only in browsers that support the same version of JavaScript as the one that was used to create the script.

I remember in 9th grade we had to choose something to do for programming and show at the end of the school year. I decided to do a visualization of the sorting algorithms. It was a Pascal program that allowed the user to select the sorting algorithm, input all the numbers in succession and then it was showing step-by-step animation with moving boxes. Was a fun thing to do.

That's great man! Inspiring..

Mayor Adams Announces New York City's First-Ever Nonprofit Advisory Council

April 2, 2024

Announcement Builds on Adams Administration’s Continued Efforts to Support and Invest in City’s Nonprofit Sector

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced the city’s first-ever Nonprofit Advisory Council. Comprised of leaders and experts in the nonprofit sector, the advisory council will work with the New York City Mayor’s Office of Nonprofit Services to serve as a link between the Adams administration and the nonprofit organizations serving New Yorkers.

“When we came into office two years ago, we had a clear mission: protect public safety, rebuild our economy, and make this city more livable for everyday New Yorkers, and our nonprofits have a vital role in making all that happen,” said  Mayor Adams . “We are fulfilling our mission and supporting nonprofits by investing $741 million in fairer wages for 80,000 human services employees working with the city, unlocking billions of dollars for nonprofits as we clear the contract backlog, and announcing the first-ever Nonprofit Advisory Council that will serve as a link between city government and nonprofit organizations. By convening this advisory council, we are making it easier to partner with nonprofits on everything from housing to health care to education. Nonprofit workers are our frontline workers, and we are going to make sure they have all the resources needed to thrive in our city.”

“Nonprofits are the backbone of our community, and our most trusted partners” said First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright . “Our administration’s investments in the sector started from day one,  standing up the Mayor’s Office of Nonprofit Services, clearing over $5 billion in backlog payments, and our recent cost-of-living-adjustment, which puts money right back into the  pockets of New Yorkers across the sector. We cannot do this work without the incredible thought partnership, leadership, and critical feedback from our nonprofit partners. This advisory council will be an important voice representing hundreds of organizations who tirelessly work to ensure that our city can work for every New Yorker.”

“The Adams administration is committed to strengthening the city government’s partnership with the nonprofit sector, which is central to providing services to millions of New Yorkers every day,” said Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives Ana J. Almanzar. “The Nonprofit Advisory Council will help inform and guide our policymaking and programming to support the sector. The advisory council’s diverse membership reflects the vibrancy of nonprofits across all five boroughs, which will support our collective goal of creating a more resilient and equitable city for all.”

“Every day, in every borough, New Yorkers are interacting with nonprofit organizations, whether you are an older adult at a community center socializing with friends, a person with a disability receiving vocational training to help secure employment, or a family receiving navigation support to access various benefit programs,” said Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom . “Nonprofits play a vital role in our network of support for individuals, children, and families and they must have a seat at the table. The Nonprofit Advisory Council is an important mechanism to ensure regular and open dialogue between government and the sector, and ultimately drive towards our shared goal — to support every individual, child, and family to thrive.”

“The nonprofit sector is the heartbeat of the city, representing every New Yorker, regardless of their race, culture, or economic status,” said Chief Procurement Officer and New York City Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS) Director Lisa Flores . “Through initiatives like clearing the backlog and the recent announcement of a cost-of-living-adjustment, this administration has shown that we've got the sector's back. We are very excited to keep the momentum going with the Nonprofit Advisory Council, a dedicated forum for the sector to share feedback and ideas on how we can better support them, and our office looks forward to partnering with the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services as we turn those ideas into lasting change.”

“The establishment of the first-ever Nonprofit Advisory Council to the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services marks a significant milestone in fostering collaboration and innovation and supports the city’s vital nonprofit sector,” said Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services Interim Executive Director Diane Mamet. The advisory council will convene regularly to discuss emerging challenges and opportunities facing the nonprofit sector, develop innovative strategies for capacity-building and sustainability, and advocate for policies to help nonprofits thrive. In collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Nonprofit Services, the advisory council will provide insights, guidance, and recommendations connected to policies, legislative agendas, and responses to programmatic issues within city government that impact nonprofit organizations.

The inaugural members of the advisory council represent a broad spectrum of nonprofit organizations, including those focused on social services, education, arts and culture, and advocacy. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives will ensure that the advisory council effectively addresses the needs of the nonprofit sector. The Nonprofit Advisory Council will be co-chaired by Mayor’s Office of Nonprofit Services Interim Executive Director Diane Mamet, Union Settlement President and Chief Executive Officer Reverend Dr. Darlene Williams, and Urban Pathways Chief Executive Officer Frederick Shack.

Today’s announcement builds on the Adams administration’s continued efforts to support, make significant investments in, and enact polices to support the nonprofit sector in New York City. Last month, the Adams administration announced a $741 million investment for an estimated 80,000 human services workers employed by non-profit organizations with a city contract as part of a new cost-of-living adjustment. The human services workforce — which is  overwhelmingly female at 66 percent and 46 percent women of color  — remains on the frontlines of the most pressing issues facing the city as they deliver vital services across housing, food access, health services, and asylum seeker services, among other areas. To date, the Adams administration has invested over $1.4 billion towards wage enhancements for the human services sector.

The Adams administration worked with MOCS on the Clear the Backlog initiative , which has already unlocked over $6 billion in funds that were long overdue, allowing nonprofits to get paid for their vital services. Together with New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, MOCS, and the Mayor’s Office of Nonprofit Services, Mayor Adams  announced a new reform for discretionary contracts  that will eliminate red tape and make it easier for nonprofits that contract with the city to get paid on time. The innovative reform eliminates a total of nine months of discretionary, contracting process time for nonprofits every year, beginning in the out-years for applicable contracts.

“I am truly honored to serve as an inaugural co-chair for the Nonprofit Advisory Council with the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services,” said Dr. Darlene Williams, president and chief executive officer, Union Settlement . “As leaders dedicated to serving our community, the advisory council provides an invaluable opportunity to foster innovation, address the diverse needs of our city's residents, and the integral role of nonprofit organizations. It is a privilege to stand alongside such dedicated community partners and organizations, united in our shared mission to enhance the well-being of all New Yorkers.”

“For a decade, the nonprofit sector — which employs over 125,000 people — has advocated for a mayoral office empowered to work alongside us in partnership, enhancing communication and collaboration for the betterment of the communities we serve,” said Fredrick Shack, chief executive officer, Urban Pathways . “We applaud Mayor Adams and his team for establishing the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services and creating this advisory council, comprised of nonprofit leaders from diverse service areas. This mandate to improve services to New Yorkers through our partnership is a significant step forward, and we look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have on our city.”

“New York City’s incredible nonprofits are essential to building a stronger, more prosperous future for all of our neighbors and communities,” said Dr. Jocelynne Rainey, president and chief executive officer, Brooklyn Org . “To help nonprofits reach their full potential, we must do more to help connect them with the people, ideas, and resources they need to grow. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve on this council and to help empower our city’s dynamic and creative nonprofits.”

“I am honored to be a part of this advisory council as it is a new avenue to contribute to the dialogue shaping the future of our city's vital nonprofit sector,” said Eichakeem McClary, executive vice president, United Way of New York City . “As we embark on this historic journey with the Mayor's Office for Nonprofit Services, we will continue to advocate for outcomes that enable community-based organizations to remove barriers and dismantle inequities for marginalized communities in New York.”

“I would like to thank Mayor Adams for establishing the Mayor's Office for Nonprofit Services and this advisory council,” said  Wayne Ho president and chief executive officer, Chinese-American Planning Council . “The Asian American community is the city's fastest growing racial group and has the highest rate of poverty, so nonprofit organizations are critical to ensuring that this community not only survives but also thrives. Building off recent successes, I look forward to our work together to develop policies and practices to fully fund services, ensure a living wage for nonprofit workers, promote budget equity, and streamline the procurement process.”

“The Nonprofit Advisory Council will leverage the specialized expertise and unique insights of nonprofit professionals to support the city in fostering a more equitable environment for all residents of New York City,” said  Yaw Appiadu, executive director, Harlem Independent Living Center .

“As chief executive officer of the Council of Peoples Organization, we recognize the invaluable role nonprofits play in fostering diverse communities regardless of difference,” said  Mohammad Razvi, chief executive officer, Council of People’s Organization . “We appreciate the establishment of the Nonprofit Advisory Council and the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services as an essential step towards ensuring that the needs and contributions of nonprofit organizations are acknowledged and supported at the highest levels of governance. Council of People’s Organization stands ready to engage with this advisory council, leveraging our expertise and resources to advance the collective well-being of our communities.”

“The advisory council is an example of Mayor Adams’ steadfast support of the nonprofit sector and the close relationship between the executive agencies and nonprofit frontline work,” said  Ronald Richter, chief executive officer and executive director, JCCA . “The advisory council will continue to facilitate the partnership between the city, the nonprofit sector, and the diverse communities within New York City.”

“As the chief executive officer of Partnership with Children, a resilient 115-year-old organization advancing mental health for New York’s most under-resourced schoolchildren, I am honored to contribute both our experience and sense of urgency to the growth and vitality of the nonprofit sector in New York City,” said  Wesner Pierre, chief executive officer, Partnership With Children . “We applaud the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services for forming the first-ever Nonprofit Advisory Council as protectors of our city’s equity and promise.”

“Nonprofits help make our city the vibrant, dynamic place we love,” said  Chai Jindasurat-Yasui, vice president, policy, Nonprofit New York . “Every New Yorker, in every neighborhood, depends on nonprofits, and nonprofits need to play meaningful roles in problem solving and program development with our government partners. Nonprofit New York looks forward to continuing to work with the Mayor's Office of Nonprofit Services on the many policy and structural reforms needed to support a robust and thriving nonprofit sector that will benefit all New Yorkers.”
