Are you new to web development and design? Want to get started but don't know where to start? Ask your questions here. There's no dumb questions, but don't be lazy and ask for code or to fix your broken code, unless you're actually trying. I'll help those who want to help themselves, and I'm sure there's other here as well that would be happy to share their knowledge as well.

I learnt html code years ago when things were simple. <b> made the following text boldface and </b> cancelled that. Most things were that easy. The advantage with simple sites is that most attacks are aimed at sites that use java, so those 'easy' sites I made are still there and have never been attacked.

These days there are many programs which enable you to create a website as you would create DTP. The result is limited only by your imagination, but I still prefer the html route! I tried one of these programs but it kept wanting to put a picture in the wrong place and when I tried to move it, it just jumped back to somewhere I didn't want it.

At my age, the simple stuff works best and (for me) is easier to learn than the new stuff that is 'supposed' to be easy!

Site performance, as in speed? This would depend on how your server is configured and built for the most part.

If you mean as in traffic, the best way to start out is SEO. Optimize your site for best performance in search engines. You want to build high quality content for people and build links to high quality and high authority websites.

If you just want to learn how to build a website, W3Schools, MDN Web Docs, FreeCodeCamp, are a few places to get a good start in the right direction.

I still prefer to hand code rather than drag-n-drop. I firmly believe in the KISS rule.
