I'm a total beginner looking to create a fun little website for someone I like. I want it to have buttons for questions where he can choose options, and I really want to be able to see what choices he makes. Is that possible? Also, what programming languages do I need to learn to make this happen?

Yes, what you're trying to do is definitely possible! To get started, you'll need to learn a few basic things: HTML for the structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript (JS) for any dynamic features, like saving data when someone clicks a button. Just be ready—it can take a while to learn everything, especially to make it look nice. The Odin Project is a great resource for learning web development, and it might be worth checking out if you're interested in coding long-term.
It sounds like a cool project! Since you're just starting out, I suggest using Google Forms if you want to keep it simple. You can customize it a bit, and all the responses will automatically go into Google Sheets. If you want more control, you can create a basic HTML page that submits the answers to Google Sheets too, which is pretty beginner-friendly. But remember, you might find Google Forms a bit limiting on the customization side!
Oh, I’ll give that a shot! I feel like I’ll miss out on customization with Google Forms, though.
Creating your site from scratch can be tough but totally doable! You’ll need to pick up some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, plus a backend language if you want to save the responses. If it feels overwhelming, consider using a platform like WordPress with a survey plugin—it might simplify things for you! But still, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve.
Got it, I’ll take a look into that! Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely check out The Odin Project. A framework sounds helpful too!
