If I learn HTML and CSS, would it still be better to use a website builder like squarespace instead of building one from scratch?

I was also wondering if you had any tips or acronyms I should know to better understand other more experienced people in web development.

(I'm self taught I don't even know what a DNS is qwq)

If you're learning something, why would you use a tool that doesn't use what you're learning?

#

Isn't that counter-productive?

Website builders are only useful for the service that provides the tool. So if you build a website using the builder that company X provides you can't take that same website over to company Y.

Tools like that are also incredibly limited in comparison to what you can do if you write HTML from scratch. They have a limited selection of components and layouts that you're forced to use. In HTML you can build exactly what you need and adjust it to suit your needs.

I don't recommend website builders for anyone unless they're non-technical and need to maintain the site entirely on their own.
