Why Students Love Web Maker #

Learning to code is challenging enough without fighting with tooling. Web Maker removes all the friction so you can focus on what matters: understanding how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work together.

Perfect for Your First HTML Page #

Remember the excitement of seeing your first webpage come to life? Web Maker captures that magic:

1. Type some HTML in the left pane
2. Watch it appear instantly in the preview
3. Add CSS to make it beautiful
4. Add JavaScript to make it interactive

No terminal commands. No configuration files. No "it works on my machine" problems.

Built for Learning #

"I wish I had Web Maker when I was learning. It would have saved me hours of setup frustration."

Follow along with any tutorial - Whether you're taking a course on Udemy, following freeCodeCamp, or working through a textbook, Web Maker is the perfect companion. Just type the code and see results instantly.

Experiment freely - The best way to learn is by breaking things. Make mistakes, see what happens, and learn from them without any consequences.

Save your progress - Your creations are automatically saved locally. Come back to them later, even without internet.

Tips for Students #

Start Small #

Begin with simple HTML pages before adding CSS and JavaScript. Master each layer before combining them.

Use the Console #

Click the console button to see JavaScript output and errors. It's essential for debugging.

Save Often #

While Web Maker auto-saves, it's good practice to create multiple creations for different projects.

Explore the Preprocessors #

Once you're comfortable with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, try SCSS for better CSS organization or TypeScript for safer JavaScript.
