- Quora Question of The Day: **"What is the biggest website you ever built, and what was the most challenging part of the development process?"** The biggest website that Expoverse ever built, the development process was challenging. [The process of building a large website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript involves several steps, including planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and continual improvement](https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-biggest-website-you-ever-built-and-what-was-the-most-challenging-part-of-the-development-process/answer/Expoverse). Planning is the first and most important step in building a big website, where you need to gather all the requirements, create a wireframe and a sitemap, and plan the overall structure of the website. Once the design is complete, you can start developing the website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Use a framework like React or Angular to structure the code and make it more maintainable. Before launching the website, it's important to test it thoroughly to make sure it works correctly and is free of bugs. Once the website is ready, you can deploy it to a server or hosting platform. And a website is never finished, you should always be on the lookout for ways to improve it, adding new features, and fixing any issues that arise. Building a big website is a complex process and can take a long time to complete. It's also important to have a team of developers with different skills, such as front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers, to work on different parts of the website.
