Fortunately for Aria, you don’t need a fancy computer for web development, particularly if you are only using HTML and CSS. Simple, basic introductory computers will do just fine but you still need the right tools.
An entry level laptop like an ASUS Vivobook would be perfect for first time web developers.
If you prefer Apple computers or have more money to spend then an Apple MacBook Air will give you everything you need.

In order to write the code for your website, you will need some special computer program, also known as software, to do it on. Thankfully there are many free options available. Such as Notepad++, Light Table, Sublime Text or Atom. Other options which cost money are available and they generally have more features but for basic website development the programs named above are good options.
Only download these tools from reliable links like these so you don’t download anything harmful onto your computer.

You will also need an internet browser such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Browsers are used to view websites and so you need one to see what you have created. These are also all free and your computer will come with at least one of these already installed.
Once you have a computer with one of these tools and a suitable browser, you are ready to begin developing your own website.
