Safety Reminder Before You Deploy

Before publishing anything online, make sure your project doesn't contain your full name, home address, phone number, school name, or any private information. Once something is online, anyone can see it!

Your Challenge

Mission: Go Live!

Deploy Your First Project to the Internet

Take the webpage you vibe-coded in Module 2 and make it live! Or use an AI to help you build something new to deploy.

  1. 1Make sure your project has an index.html file. Use AI to add something fun if you want โ€” a color theme, a countdown timer, anything!
  2. 2Go to app.netlify.com/drop.
  3. 3Drag your project folder onto the Netlify Drop area.
  4. 4Copy your new .netlify.app link. You now have a real live website!
  5. 5Share the link with a friend or family member. How does it feel to have something live on the internet? ๐ŸŒ
