<p>My son ( 10 ) wants to build his own website and wants to do it using HTML/CSS. 
He doesn't want to use a website builder as he wants to understand how it works fundamentally.<p>I set up a netifly hosted html file to start out with and have taught him the basics of HTML and CSS and how to link to other pages.<p>Any tips to teach him the fundamentals?</p>
