3,704 Points1, Where to write code for a websites? 2, What to do with this code to make the website real?
I have learned some html now. But it's really frustrating to not actually know how to make a website. I guess my 2 questions can be summed up in one question: What do I need to know to create a website apart from the coding stuff?
And is there a YouTube video explaining it in a good way?

It’s difficult to know where to start with a website without first knowing what the purpose and content of it will be, and that course is helpful to get you to start thinking of some of these questions (or rather, what “problem” you may want your website to address).
There are a huge number of hosting companies you could go with, but as a start, you’d want to get yourself (1) a domain name (like .com, .org, they even have .ninja now, and hundreds of others) as well as (2) web hosting, which is the server space where you’d actually experiment with writing your own code.

Apart from coding, you will need:
- an available url
- website hosting
IIRC, Treehouse offers deals on these through partnerships. Worth a look!
Think of HTML as the bones of a website, CSS as the skin, and JavaScript (behavioral) as the musculature. With those 3 under your belt, you'll be able to build websites.
I'm working freecodecamp.com as an additional supplement to my learning. Their initial tutorial into HTML and CSS takes around 5 hrs. I've found it very helpful, and it is exclusively focused on coding. There are no videos, and the error check is less forgiving than the one provided in the code challenges on Treehouse. Still, it's a resource that I value.
I hope this is helpful! :)
