SvelteKit Tutorial: Build a Website From Scratch

The tutorial introduces building and launching a website using Svelte and SvelteKit, highlighting Svelte's growing popularity due to its developer-friendly design and efficient performance in creating fast and accessible websites. Svelte, a code compiler, contrasts with other frameworks by transforming written code directly into optimized HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, resulting in smaller file sizes and faster load times. SvelteKit, the official back-end framework for Svelte, provides essential server infrastructure features such as routing, static-site generation, and API endpoints, while offering quick hot reloading during development. The tutorial guides users through creating a component-based website with SvelteKit, emphasizing project setup with Prismic, a headless CMS, to manage content dynamically. It covers creating layouts, styling with Open Props, building components, implementing forms, and using Svelte's reactive syntax for progressive enhancement. The guide concludes with instructions for deploying the site on platforms like Netlify or Vercel, encouraging further exploration of SvelteKit's capabilities through additional projects and integrations.
