Share Description
This course is a concise, beginner-friendly course designed to teach you one of the most essential and empowering skills in modern web development: getting your project live on the internet. In just 23 minutes, instructor Treasure Porth guides you through the entire process, demystifying the world of web deployment. This course moves past the old, complex methods of FTP clients and server management, introducing you to the fast, powerful, and streamlined workflow of Netlify, a leading platform for building and deploying web projects. You will learn the two primary methods for deploying a site: the incredibly fast "drop deploy" (drag-and-drop) for getting a site live in seconds, and the professional-grade "continuous deployment" method, which automatically updates your live site every time you push changes to a Git repository. This course is built to be practical, handling different project types from plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript projects to more complex applications built with frameworks like React, Vue, or Next.js.

Why take this course
Building a project on your local machine is only half the journey. A project that only exists on your computer can't be shared, reviewed, or included in a portfolio. "Deploying with Netlify" is the course that bridges this critical gap. For many new developers, deployment seems like an intimidating black box of servers, commands, and configurations. This course shatters that misconception. It shows you that with modern tools like Netlify, deploying a website is not only easy but can also be a seamless, automated part of your development process. You will learn the magic of pushing a code change to GitHub and, seconds later, seeing that change live on your website without any extra effort. This is how modern development teams work, and this course gives you that professional-grade skill. Whether you need to quickly deploy a small project for feedback or set up a serious, automated pipeline for a portfolio-level application, this course provides the exact, practical knowledge you need to get it done.
