Inbox Overload? Here’s How We Fixed It with a Simple Email Ticketing System (No Fancy Tools Needed)
Running a small business is incredibly rewarding—but let’s be honest, the backend chaos is real. At Saaragya, one of our biggest pain points was managing customer emails.
Order questions. Size exchanges. The classic “Where’s my order?” panic mails.
Our inbox was a mess.
Instead of paying for a full-fledged ticketing platform, we built a lightweight, DIY email ticketing system using just Google Apps Script + Google Sheets—and it’s been a total game-changer.
Why We Built It
- We were wasting time manually tracking customer messages.
- Emails were slipping through the cracks.
- Expensive tools didn’t fit our lean setup.
So we made a tool that:
- Logs every incoming customer email to a Google Sheet
- Generates a unique Ticket ID for easy tracking
- Auto-sends an acknowledgment to reassure the customer
- Keeps our team sane and organized
How to Build This in 5 Minutes
1. Create a Google Sheet
- Name it:
Customer Support Tracker
- Add these columns:
Ticket ID
,Timestamp
,Customer Email
,Subject
,Status
2. Create a Timestamp Tracker Sheet
- Add a second sheet called
Last Checked
- In cell A1:
Last Checked Timestamp
- In cell A2:
01/01/2000
(just a placeholder)
3. Use This Apps Script
Go to Extensions → Apps Script, delete any existing code, and paste this:
function trackCustomerEmails() { var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Customer Support Tracker"); var lastCheckedSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Last Checked"); var lastCheckedTime = new Date(lastCheckedSheet.getRange(2, 1).getValue()); var threads = GmailApp.search("to:email@email.com is:unread after:" + Math.floor(lastCheckedTime.getTime() / 1000)); var messages = GmailApp.getMessagesForThreads(threads); messages.forEach(thread => { thread.forEach(message => { var email = message.getFrom(); var subject = message.getSubject(); var timestamp = message.getDate(); if (timestamp > lastCheckedTime) { var ticketID = "TICKET-" + new Date().getTime(); sheet.appendRow([ticketID, timestamp, email, subject, "Open"]); sendAcknowledgmentEmail(email, ticketID); } }); }); lastCheckedSheet.getRange(2, 1).setValue(new Date()); } function sendAcknowledgmentEmail(email, ticketID) { var subject = "Support – Ticket Received: " + ticketID; var body = "Hi there,\n\nWe've received your message and assigned Ticket ID: " + ticketID + ". Our team will respond within 24 hours (excluding holidays).\n\nThanks for reaching out!\n\n– Saaragya Support Team"; MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body); } function setEmailTrigger() { ScriptApp.newTrigger("trackCustomerEmails") .timeBased() .everyMinutes(5) .create(); }
4. Set Up the Automation
- Click Run → setEmailTrigger
- Grant permissions when prompted
- Done!
What It Does
- Runs every 5 minutes
- Checks for new unread emails
- Logs details in a Google Sheet
- Sends a reply with a Ticket ID
No more lost emails. No more chaos.
What’s Next?
We’re thinking of adding:
- WhatsApp alerts for new tickets
- Auto-closing resolved queries
- A visual dashboard for tracking
If you’re a solo founder, small team, or just love no-code/low-code hacks—try this out. If it helps, share it with someone else who’s drowning in email too.
Do share your views. Or in case you’ve enhanced this code, do share with us.
How to Find Keywords with Over 1 Million Searches (Using Free Tools)
Want to build a blog, web app, or YouTube channel that actually gets traffic? Then your first job is to make sure people are searching for what you’re creating.
The easiest way?
Find keyword clusters that add up to 1 million+ monthly Google searches.
In this post, I’ll show you how to:
- Use free tools to find those keywords
- Validate if a niche is worth your time
- Build smarter instead of guessing
What We Mean by “1M+ Keywords”
We’re not talking about a single keyword like “IPL” or “Shoes” with 10M+ searches (that’s suicide for beginners).
We’re talking about a cluster of related keywords that:
- Target the same niche
- Add up to over 1 million monthly searches
- Have real-world monetization value (ads, affiliate, SaaS, services)
Example:
- “Cold pressed oil” → 90,000
- “Best oil for cooking” → 40,000
- “Kachi ghani mustard oil” → 20,000
…add 20 more keywords = 1M+ monthly volume
Step-by-Step: How to Find High-Volume Keyword Clusters
Step 1: Start With a Seed Keyword
Choose something broad, like:
- “Diabetes recipes”
- “Second-hand cars”
- “EV charging stations”
- “Protein powder”
It should be a topic people search often, not something obscure or temporary.
Step 2: Use These Free Tools
Here are 5 tools you can use right now — no credit card, no logins required (for most):
Tool What It Shows 🔍 Ubersuggest Keyword ideas + monthly search volume 📈 Google Trends Seasonal & regional interest (compare topics) 🧠 KeywordTool.io Keyword autocomplete from Google, YouTube 💡 AnswerThePublic Questions, comparisons, long-tails 🧩 Ahrefs Keyword Generator Keyword volume for 100+ terms (freemium) Step 3: Export Keyword Ideas + Volumes
- Use Ubersuggest or Ahrefs (or both)
- Export the list to a CSV or copy-paste into Google Sheets
- Add a column for Monthly Volume
- Filter out:
- Duplicates
- Irrelevant terms
- Branded terms (e.g., “Amazon cold pressed oil”)
Sum the volumes.
If total > 1,000,000 — congrats, you’ve got a viable keyword cluster.Bonus Strategy: Use Competitor Domains
If you’re unsure where to start:
- Think of an existing site in your niche
- Paste their domain into Ubersuggest or SimilarWeb
- Look at:
- Top pages
- Top keywords
- Estimated monthly traffic
If a similar site is pulling 200K+ organic traffic, chances are, the niche has millions of monthly search volume.
Power Tips
- Use Google Trends to check if the topic is rising or dying
- Don’t chase only high-volume — look for intent-based keywords (e.g., “best laptop under ₹50,000” is gold)
- Group similar keywords to build pillars of content, not random articles
Real Example: Cold Pressed Oil
Let’s say you want to build a D2C brand or blog around natural oils.
Seed keyword: “cold pressed oil”
From tools like Ubersuggest:
- cold pressed oil – 90K
- best oil for cooking – 40K
- kachi ghani oil – 20K
- mustard oil benefits – 33K
- virgin coconut oil – 45K
- groundnut oil vs sunflower oil – 10K
Add 30 more like these → you easily cross 1 million.
What to Do With These Keywords
Once you find the right cluster:
- Create pillar pages (deep guides) and link out to smaller posts
- Optimize each post around one core + 2–3 related keywords
- Reuse for YouTube titles, Instagram carousels, email topics
- Track your rankings with free tools like Google Search Console
TL;DR
To find 1M+ search volume, you don’t need magic — just a smart system and the right tools.
- Pick a solid seed keyword
- Use free tools to generate & export keyword clusters
- Filter + sum total volume
- Validate demand → THEN build
P.S. You don’t need to be an SEO guru. You just need to outwork the lazy people. Start with one niche. Own the searches. Repeat.
How SEO Works: A Beginner’s Guide to Ranking on Google (Without the Fluff)
You’ve probably heard that SEO is the secret to getting free traffic. But how does SEO really work? What does Google look for when ranking websites?
In this no-fluff guide, we’ll break it down in simple terms. You’ll learn how SEO works, how Google ranks your content, and what exactly you need to do to climb to the top.
What Is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It’s the process of making your website easier to find, understand, and trust — especially by Google.
When done right, SEO helps your pages rank higher in search results, bringing you consistent, free, and targeted traffic.
How SEO Works (In 3 Layers)
1. Crawling & Indexing – Can Google find and read your site?
Google sends out bots (called crawlers) to explore your website by following links. These bots:
- Visit every page
- Read the content
- Store it in Google’s “index” (a giant searchable database)
✅ What You Should Do
- Submit a sitemap to Google Search Console
- Fix broken links
- Make sure your site loads fast and works well on mobile
2. On-Page SEO – Does your page match the search query?
Once indexed, Google tries to figure out: Is this the best page for this keyword?
✅ What You Should Do
- Use keywords naturally in:
- Page title
- Meta description
- H1/H2 tags
- Image alt tags
- URL
- Write helpful, clear, well-structured content
- Link to related pages on your site
3. Off-Page SEO – Do others trust your site?
Google looks at backlinks (links from other websites to yours) as a trust signal.
The more high-quality, relevant sites that link to you, the better your chances of ranking.
✅ What You Should Do
- Reach out for guest posts or partnerships
- Share your content in relevant forums or communities
- Build things worth linking to (like tools, guides, checklists)
What Google Looks At to Rank You
Factor Explanation Search intent Does your page satisfy what the user is really looking for? Page quality Is it accurate, complete, readable, and well-designed? Speed & mobile-friendliness Does it load fast on mobile? Is the layout responsive? Backlinks Are other trustworthy sites linking to you? User behavior Do users stay, click, read, or bounce away quickly? Bonus: Real-Life Example
Let’s say someone searches:
“Best shoes for flat feet”
Google will prioritize:
- Pages that have this exact keyword and related terms like “flat arch,” “foot pain,” etc.
- Pages with clear product comparisons, images, pros & cons, and FAQs
- Pages with backlinks from health or footwear sites
- Fast-loading, mobile-friendly pages
Pro Tips to Win at SEO
- Focus on search intent — Understand why the user is searching.
- Use keyword clusters — Don’t optimize for just one keyword.
- Create linkable content — Tools, data, stories, stats, guides.
- Don’t over-optimize — Write for humans, not bots.
What to Do Next
Here’s your SEO action plan:
- Find what people are searching for
- Write content that answers it better than anyone else
- Optimize your page technically
- Get a few backlinks
- Track and improve over time

P.S. Here’s the truth nobody tells you: Most SEO advice sounds the same. Most blogs say the same things. And most people worry too much about being original or perfect. Don’t. Write anyway. Write like you're figuring it out loud. Write even if it feels like it’s already been written 10,000 times. Because most people never take action. And the ones who do? They start standing out. Google doesn’t reward clever — it rewards consistent and clear. So keep publishing. Keep refining. And keep owning your space on the internet. Eventually, people will start recognizing you by your writing. And yes — Google will crawl you. Automatically. Let’s build, write, and publish without permission.
How to Add Dynamic CoD Charges in WooCommerce Based on Cart Value
Why This Is Needed?
If you’re running a WooCommerce store and offer Cash on Delivery (CoD) as a payment method, you’re likely absorbing an extra operational cost — the courier often charges for cash handling. Many sellers either:
- Bear the cost silently, reducing margins, or
- Apply a flat CoD charge regardless of order value — which feels unfair to buyers placing high-value orders.
This is where dynamic CoD fee logic comes in.
Solution: Add Conditional CoD Charges
With this code snippet, you can:
- Charge a certain fixed amount (let’s say ₹49) for orders below ₹2000, Or
- Charge a certain percentage (say 2%) of order total for orders above ₹2000.
Only if the user selects Cash on Delivery as the payment method.
This improves fairness and also recovers part of the CoD cost only from relevant customers.
How to Add This Code to Your WordPress Site
Use the WPCode Plugin
- Install and activate the WPCode plugin.
- Go to
Code Snippets → Add Snippet
. - Choose “Add Your Custom Code (PHP)”.
- Paste the below code and give it a title like “CoD Charges Logic”.
- Set location to “Run everywhere”.
- Save and Activate.
The Code
// Add CoD charges conditionally based on cart value function add_cod_charges_conditionally() { if (is_admin() && !defined('DOING_AJAX')) return; // Only apply if CoD is selected if (isset(WC()->session) && WC()->session->get('chosen_payment_method') !== 'cod') return; // Avoid duplicate fees foreach (WC()->cart->get_fees() as $fee) { if ($fee->name === 'COD Charges') return; } // Define your thresholds $cart_total = WC()->cart->cart_contents_total; $cod_charge = ($cart_total < 2000) ? 49 : ($cart_total * 0.0236); $cod_charge = round($cod_charge, 2); // Add fee to the cart WC()->cart->add_fee('COD Charges', $cod_charge, false, 'standard'); } add_action('woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees', 'add_cod_charges_conditionally');
How to Customize the Code
1. Change the ₹2000 Threshold
$cod_charge = ($cart_total < 2000) ? 49 : ($cart_total * 0.0236);
Change
2000
to any amount like3000
or1500
.2. Change Flat Charge or Percentage
49 // flat fee for lower cart value 0.0236 // 2.36% for higher cart value
Change
49
to another flat fee, or0.0236
to say0.015
for 1.5%.3. Change Fee Label
WC()->cart->add_fee('COD Charges', $cod_charge, false, 'standard');
Change
'COD Charges'
to'Cash on Delivery Fee'
or'Cash Handling Charges'
.Final Thoughts
This tiny customization helps you:
- Recover real-world CoD costs
- Add logic that’s fair and scalable
- Improve buyer trust through transparency

WP Speed Tip #6 – Limit Post Revisions to Prevent Database Bloat
Why It Matters
Every time you hit “Save Draft” or “Update,” WordPress stores a new revision in the database.
One post edited 20 times = 20+ stored versions.Multiply that by 50+ posts/pages and you’ve bloated your database with junk you’ll never use.
This slows down:- Admin panel queries
- Backup times
- Database-heavy plugins like search and reporting
The Fix: Limit Revisions in
wp-config.php
Add this line to your
wp-config.php
(above the line that says That’s all, stop editing!):define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3);
This tells WordPress: “Keep only the latest 3 revisions of each post — delete the rest.”
You can also set it to:
false
→ disables revisions entirely (not recommended unless you’re disciplined)5
→ keeps 5 versions, etc.
Optional Cleanup (One-Time)
To delete existing old revisions, run this SQL in phpMyAdmin or via WP-CLI:
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = "revision";
Backup before doing this. Do not run if you’re unsure about direct DB access.
Bonus Tip:
Use the Code Snippets plugin if you don’t want to touch
wp-config.php
, but setting it directly is cleaner.What It Actually Does
- Reduces size of the
wp_posts
table (often the biggest one) - Speeds up queries when editing or loading content-heavy pages
- Keeps your backup files smaller and faster to restore

“Tip #7 – Self-Host Fonts to Eliminate External Requests”Why React? (And Why JavaScript Alone Isn’t Enough)
Quick Recap from Blog #2
In our last post, you built your first interactive webpage using JavaScript. You saw how it adds life to websites — reacting to clicks, changing text, and making things happen without reloading the page.
So… if JavaScript is so powerful, why do we even need React?
That’s what we’ll discover today.
Analogy: JavaScript Is Like Cooking Without a Kitchen
Imagine making pasta using just a gas stove and a knife on the floor:
- Sure, it works.
- But it’s slow, messy, and hard to clean up.
Now imagine a modern kitchen:
- You have sections for boiling, chopping, storing.
- It’s easier to cook, clean, and reuse things.
React is like a smart kitchen built on top of JavaScript — it makes building complex websites faster, cleaner, and smarter.
The Problem with Just Using JavaScript
As websites get bigger, JavaScript alone becomes:
Problem Real-World Effect Messy code Everything is everywhere. Hard to fix or improve. Repeating code You write the same thing again and again. Manual DOM updates You tell the browser what to change — every time. Slow performance Updating the whole page slows things down. No structure Feels like writing a book without chapters. React fixes all of this.
So What is React?
React is a JavaScript library built by Meta (Facebook) to make building user interfaces (UIs) easier.
In simple terms:
- You build small UI blocks called components
- React helps you connect, reuse, and update them smartly
- React uses something called the Virtual DOM to make changes blazingly fast
Example: Traditional JS vs React
Vanilla JavaScript:
You write code like:
const heading = document.createElement("h1"); heading.innerText = "Hello!"; document.body.appendChild(heading);
You control every line — like a puppeteer.
React:
You write:
function App() { return <h1>Hello!</h1>; }
React figures out how to show it. You just say what to show.
Key Benefits of React
Benefit What it means Component-based Break your UI into LEGO blocks Smart updates Only changes what’s needed (via Virtual DOM) Reusable code Use same button or card in many places Declarative style You write what to show, not how to change it Ecosystem Tons of tools and community support Real-World Apps Built with React
- Facebook & Instagram
- Netflix
- Airbnb
- WhatsApp Web
- Khan Academy
They all use React for the same reason: speed, scale, and structure.
Cheat Sheet
- React = JavaScript made easier for building UIs
- Helps avoid messy, manual code
- Uses components + Virtual DOM for fast, smart updates
- Great for big, interactive apps (like yours someday!)
What’s Next?
Now that you understand why React is important, it’s time to start coding in React!

“Setting Up Your First React App (Step-by-Step)”
We’ll install the tools and run your first real React page!WP Speed Tip #5 – Disable WordPress Emojis (Yes, They’re Slowing You Down)
Why It Matters
WordPress loads its own emoji support even if you never use emojis.
That means:- Extra JavaScript in your
<head>
- 1–2 additional HTTP requests
- Slower page render, especially on mobile
And worst of all? Modern browsers already support emojis natively.
The Fix: Disable WordPress Emoji Script
Add this to your
functions.php
(or via Code Snippets plugin):remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 ); remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' ); remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' ); remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' ); remove_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'wp_staticize_emoji' ); remove_filter( 'comment_text_rss', 'wp_staticize_emoji' ); remove_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wp_staticize_emoji_for_email' );
This removes both front-end and admin-side emoji scripts.
What It Actually Saves
- ~8KB of inline JS on every page
- Up to 2 HTTP requests (which delay first paint)
- Slight but cumulative speed gain on repeat views or minimal setups
Alternative: Use a Plugin (if non-technical)
- Disable Emojis (GDPR Friendly) – does exactly this and nothing more
What Not to Do
- Don’t just deregister the script with
wp_deregister_script()
— that doesn’t cover all cases. - Don’t worry — disabling this won’t break emoji display in modern browsers.
Bonus Tip:
Combine this with Tip #1 (ditch page builder) and Tip #4 (LiteSpeed Cache) and you’ll already be faster than 80% of WP installs.

What is JavaScript? (And Why It’s So Cool!)
Quick Recap from previous post
In our first post, we explored what a website really is — not just some magic thing on the internet, but a smart combo of:
- HTML → the structure (like the skeleton of a building)
- CSS → the style and decoration (paint, furniture)
- JavaScript → the behavior (lights turning on, buttons working)
We learned that a website lives on a server, and the browser (like Chrome) is what helps us visit and interact with it.
Where Are We Heading?
In this blog post, we’re slowly building our way to React — a powerful tool that helps us create smart, fast, and beautiful websites using JavaScript.
But before we learn React, we need to understand JavaScript itself — because React is built on JavaScript.
So now, let’s open the box and see what JavaScript can really do!
Goal
To understand what JavaScript is, what it does in a website, and how it makes pages come alive — using fun examples anyone (even kids) can grasp.
Analogy: HTML is the Body, JavaScript is the Brain
Imagine building a robot:
- You create a body with hands, legs, head → that’s HTML.
- You paint it cool colors and give it style → that’s CSS.
- But the robot just stands there until you add a brain — that’s JavaScript.
JavaScript tells the robot:
- “If someone says hello, wave back!”
- “If a button is pressed, open the door!”
What Exactly Is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a programming language used inside websites to:
- React when someone clicks a button
- Show or hide things
- Fetch live data from the internet
- Validate forms (e.g., is your email correct?)
- Build games, apps, and chatbots
It’s the language of interactivity.
Real-World Examples of JavaScript in Action
Example What Happens Powered by JavaScript Click “Like” on a post The icon turns green Yes Submit a form It shows “Thank you!” Yes Typing in a search bar Suggestions appear Yes Moving through slides Slides auto-rotate Yes Without JavaScript, websites would be like paper posters — nice to look at, but can’t do anything.
Your First JavaScript Code (Try it Now!)
Open Chrome → right-click on any page → click Inspect → go to Console tab and type:
alert("Hello from JavaScript!");
Hit Enter. Boom! A popup appears.
A Simple Interactive Page
Here’s what JavaScript looks like in a real page:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 id="heading">Click the button</h1> <button onclick="changeText()">Click Me</button> <script> function changeText() { document.getElementById("heading").innerText = "You clicked the button!"; } </script> </body> </html>
How to Try This on Your Computer
Follow these 3 simple steps:
- Copy the code above.
- Open Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac), paste it in.
- On Mac, use
TextEdit → Preferences → Format → Plain Text
.
- On Mac, use
- Save the file as
index.html
(make sure it’s.html
and not.txt
). - Double-click the file to open it in your browser.
Now click the button — boom! You just built your first interactive webpage using JavaScript.
What happens:
Clicking the button changes the text — this is JavaScript in action.
Cheat Sheet
- JavaScript = Language that makes websites interactive
- Runs in your browser (like Chrome)
- Can update the page without reloading
- Helps React build dynamic, smart UI
- Works with HTML (structure) and CSS (style)
What’s Next?
In the next blog: “Why React? And Why JavaScript Alone Isn’t Enough”
We’ll see why React was invented, how it makes JavaScript easier, faster, and more powerful, and why it’s the most popular tool for building modern web apps.
WP Speed Tip #4 – Install LiteSpeed Cache (Or WP Super Cache)
Why It Matters
Every time a visitor opens a page, WordPress fetches data from the database, processes it, builds HTML, and serves it.
This takes time. Multiply that by 100s of visitors, and your server slows down.A caching plugin fixes this by saving the ready-to-serve version of your pages. It’s like handing someone a printout instead of rewriting the whole thing every time.
Best Plugin if You’re on Hostinger or Any LiteSpeed Server:
🔧 LiteSpeed Cache – free, fast, and packed with optimization tools.
If You’re on Apache (non-LiteSpeed) or Want Simpler Setup:
🔧 WP Super Cache – simple and lightweight, with minimal config needed
Setup Guide: LiteSpeed Cache (Best Option)
1. Install from Plugins → Add New
Search for “LiteSpeed Cache” and install.
2. Basic Config (Fast Setup)
In WP Admin → LiteSpeed Cache:
- General → Enable cache: ✅
- Cache → Cache Mobile: ✅
- Image Optimization → Enable and request keys
- Page Optimization → Enable:
- CSS/JS Minify ✅
- CSS Combine ✅
- JS Defer ✅
- HTML Minify ✅
3. Exclude URLs (Optional)
Skip caching cart/checkout pages in WooCommerce:
/cart /checkout /my-account
What It Actually Does:
- Stores static HTML of your pages
- Reduces PHP/database calls
- Serves pages in under 1s for repeat users
- Optional: Optimizes CSS, JS, images, and even fonts
Tip for WP Super Cache:
- Simple config → turn caching on, update
.htaccess
, done. - Skip preloading, CDNs, and gzip unless you know what you’re doing.
Real Impact:
A basic site with 1s+ page load without cache dropped to 0.3s after enabling LiteSpeed Cache with default settings.
Bonus: Don’t Double Cache
If you’re using a server-level cache (like Hostinger + LiteSpeed) and a plugin like Cloudflare or SiteGround Optimizer, pick one — don’t stack multiple cache systems.

“Tip #5 – Disable WordPress Emojis (Yes, They’re Slowing You Down)”What is a Website? (For Kids & Total Beginners)
Goal
To understand what a website really is, what it’s made of, and how it works — using simple, everyday examples.
Analogy: A Website is Like a Toy Shop
Imagine your favorite toy shop:
- The walls, shelves, posters = how it looks → that’s HTML.
- The colors, shapes, lights = how it’s styled → that’s CSS.
- The remote-controlled toys, games, talking robots = how it acts → that’s JavaScript.
When these 3 come together, your toy shop becomes alive and exciting. That’s exactly what a website does.
What Is a Website, Really?
A website is:
- A collection of pages you can visit using a browser (like Google Chrome).
- Each page is built using code (HTML + CSS + JavaScript).
- Some websites are simple (like a newspaper), some are smart (like YouTube or Instagram).
Three Main Ingredients of a Website
Ingredient What it does Example HTML Structure — what’s there Headings, buttons, forms CSS Style — how it looks Colors, fonts, layout JS Behavior — what it can do Clicks, animation, logic Where Do Websites Live?
Websites live on special computers called servers.
You access them using an address likewww.google.com
.
Your browser sends a request → server sends back the site.Static vs Dynamic Websites
Static Website Dynamic Website Same for everyone Changes for each user No brain — just show Has brain — remembers things Like a printed book Like a chatbot React helps us build dynamic websites — smart, fast, and interactive.
Try This (Fun Exercise)
Open Chrome, right-click on any website, and click Inspect.
- Click the Elements tab → See the HTML!
- Click the Console tab → Type:
alert('Hello!')
and press Enter.
You just wrote your first JavaScript!
Cheat Sheet
- Website = Pages you see online
- HTML = Bones
- CSS = Clothes
- JS = Brain
- Server = House where website lives
- Browser = Vehicle to visit it
What’s Next?
In the next blog: “What is JavaScript and Why It’s So Cool”
We’ll show how JS turns boring pages into smart, talking ones — and how React builds on it to make websites super fun!
