Space to create website

I'm new here. In which one space should I create website, instead of treehouse's workspaces, where should I practice?

The best IDE (editor) for web development in my opinion is Netbeans. It's a great tool with many functions and I like it over Treehouse's Workspaces. If you are looking to practice HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the like, just Netbeans will suffice. If you want to practice with PHP, you'll need a webserver which you can either rent or run yourself. A great tool to do this would be USBWebserver (can be found easilly on Google).

Go through some of the beginning tracks and course about setting up and building a website. They will explain literally everything, and how to do it.

I was using notepad ++ but the editor in the treehouse workspace is excellent and my latest project is all coded within the treehouse editor.

Thanks for answer. I'll try notepad++ anyway.

I think brackets is one of my favourite because it is very similar to the Treehouse IDE in the sense you can launch it in a browser directly from the editor without the confusion of installing a local server yourself. Fastest way to get started and loads of plugins to help you along with coding hints etc.
