Publish your static website for free

Many IT folks ask me I've made my project in Web Dev as beginner but I want to showcase it to my client/people for free. Where should I upload & publish them? My simple answer is Google Drive. I'll write another article about how to upload static sites in Google Drive. So, one of the professional method is using Github & Netlify. Netlify is a github authorised application to run static web pages. You can use it just by authorizing the repos access to it. In this article, I'll let you know from basics to full uploading and getting the link. So, let's get started.

Steps to consider:

1. Create Account
2. Create Repo
3. Push/Upload contents in repo
4. Sign Up/Login in Netlify using Github
5. Connect your target repo
6. Publish it

NOTE : Ignore following warning in some screenshots.
