They have lots of good resources, tips, and tutorials to further your knowledge. - -### Can I configure a custom domain for my site, i.e. johnnymakerportfolio.com? -Yes! Github Pages supports [custom domain configuration](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site). However, you will need to buy a domain name from a registrar such as [NameCheap](https://www.namecheap.com/) or [Gandi](https://www.gandi.net/) -- the cost is usually around $10 - $15 a year. - -### Can I add tracking? -Yes! You can embed Google Analytics to see who is visiting your site. - -### Can I add a blog, etc? -Not really. This template works best for simple sites. For a simple blog check out [Jekyll, which is a static site generator that also works on Github pages](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll). For more functionality, you will probably need a content management system (CMS) such as [Wordpress](https://wordpress.com), [Drupal](http://drupal.org), or [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com). A CMS will require additional setup and a website host, such as [Dreamhost](https://www.dreamhost.com/). - -### Can I sell products or add a store? -Not easily, but if you are determined you can add Paypal buttons or something like [SnipCart](https://snipcart.com/). If you are interested in selling many products online or need a full store, check out Woocommerce, BigCartel, Shopify, or Etsy. - -### Can I make separate HTML files for each page? -Yes, you can use Javascript AJAX calls to pull in external content into your index.html page. See script.js for more details. - -### I heard I need to be using XYZ framework (Bootstrap, React, etc). -Web technology changes rapidly, and it easy to get lost in the hype. Learning the basics of HTML, CSS, and JS is a good place to start. From there, you can explore different frameworks and libraries to see what interests you. - -### I don't want to write code or deal with website hosting.
