Before you start using Maad Dev

Things to prepare

Before your website goes online, you need just 4 things, and the first 3 are free to sign up for.

1. Email (free)

This will be used for creating various accounts, as well as receiving information and contact from the Maad Dev team.

• We recommend creating a new email account (using Google Gmail).
• Use this email to register and activate your GitHub and Cloudflare accounts (Steps 2, 3).
• The upside: your website's accounts stay separate from the ones you already use, so they're easier to manage later and won't affect your other accounts.

How to do it

• Go to Gmail Then click on Create an account

2. GitHub Account (free)

Used to store your website code and content.

• Your website will be hosted in your own account.
• You own all files 100%.

How to do it

• Open a browser that's already logged in to Gmail (Step 1)
• Go to GitHub Sign up Then click on Continue with Google

3. Cloudflare Account (free)

Used for getting your website online.

• Fast website loading
• Unlimited Traffic
• Secure
• No monthly fees

How to do it

• Open a browser that's already logged in to GitHub (Step 2)
• Go to Cloudflare Sign up Then click on Continue with GitHub

4. Website Information

• Logo (SVG, matching the theme)
• Favicon (ICO, 256 x 256 pixels)
• OG image (JPG/PNG/WebP, 1200 x 630 pixels)
• Content to be used on your website

You don't need to know how to code.
No server required.
No monthly fees.

If you can sign up for an account, you can get started.
