I'm new to website building and am hoping to create a basic wiki-like site for a fiction project I'm working on. Right now, I'm just using Google Docs, but I'd like to set it up as a website for sharing purposes, include links to other related sites, and add a more authentic touch since it's for an ARG. I want to learn enough to build a simple site, but I don't want a flood of suggestions for pricey courses or endless lists of coding languages. What would be a good way to get started and what should I learn first to create this basic website? Thanks for any advice!

If you're looking for an easier route without coding, you could try platforms like Wix or similar no-code website builders. They can help you create a site with drag-and-drop features, making it a lot simpler to get started!
To kick off your website journey, I'd suggest starting with the fundamentals: HTML for structuring your pages and CSS for styling them. Once you're comfortable with those, you can dive into JavaScript to add some interactivity. If you're keen on handling the backend, look into Node.js and Express for server management, plus templating options like Pug or EJS. Once you’ve got those basics down, you could explore React for a more modern frontend experience. It's a solid progression!
You might want to check out some wiki builders available online. I can't guarantee they're all free, but they could simplify the process for you. Just search for "wiki builder" and see what options pop up!
Wix sounds like a good option! I've seen some decent templates there. Thanks for the tip!
