From Localhost to Live: Deploy Your First Website on Netlify

Deploying a website is not only about getting it online. A clear deployment workflow can make the process easier to understand, verify, and maintain over time.

In this guide, I walk through a practical step-by-step deployment workflow using GitHub and Netlify, starting from a website running on localhost and ending with a publicly accessible live website.

The article is based on an actual deployment process and includes screenshots throughout the workflow.

Key topics covered:

  • Verifying the website on localhost.
  • Testing the production build.
  • Creating a GitHub repository and pushing the project.
  • Connecting GitHub with Netlify.
  • Reviewing build and publish settings.
  • Deploying the website.
  • Testing the live production version.
  • Common deployment issues and practical best practices.

The goal is not simply to complete a deployment, but to understand a workflow that can be repeated and applied to future projects.
