I chose GitHub Pages to host it for its simplicity and support for static sites. I used ChatGPT to generate HTML code for a straightforward “Hello World” web page. I then set up a local GitHub repository to manage updates.
In this article, I will discuss my experience creating the code that I used to generate the page’s content.
