Get started!

  1. Go to the Elevator Pitch Repository

  2. Click the green "Code" button, then "Download ZIP" to your local computer.

  3. Find this folder in your downloads. Move this folder to a secure place. You will return to this folder to manage your files and other assets like images, pdfs, etcetera.

  4. Download and/or open a text editor like atom.io or notepad-plus-plus.org.

  5. Use the text editor to open the index.html documents and style.css from your project folder.

  6. Start working with code by reading through the index.html where you'll find instructions on how to build your own webtext!

  7. Once you have modified and added your files to your project file, you will want to publish to the web. GitHub provides a good solution for "free." Create a GitHub account, then create a new repository for this webtext. Click "uploading an existing file" and "commit" your file changes to this repository. Remember, you'll need ALL of your assets to make your webtext function properly.

  8. Now go to your repository "settings." Scroll down to "Pages" and change the setting from "none" to "main" branch. Hit "Save". This will provide you with a published GitHub URL.

  9. Test the URL in a browser. Magic, no? Actually, it's computer science.
