Website development is rarely easy.
You either have to know exactly what you’re doing and encounter no unexpected problems (a rarity).
Or spend hundreds of hours trying to get a site working just the way you want it to (this is much more common).
Luckily, there are some websites that help website developers by giving them the coding or information they need, so they don’t have to figure it all out on their own.
Before you do your next website project, bookmark these top websites for developers.
