🚀 Welcome to the You Ship, We Ship Initiative!

Create and publish your own website, and we'll gift you a custom domain for free! Whether you're a passionate coder or a curious beginner, this is your chance to shine. Follow these steps to upload your website to GitHub and get started. Before we begin, be sure to star ⭐ the repo!

Note: This is ONLY for GIIS Singapore (either EC or PG-SMART Campus) students!

Why Participate?

Creating a unique website helps you:

• Express Creativity: Showcase your unique ideas and design skills.
• Learn Web Development: Gain hands-on experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or any frontend and backend you want!
• Build a Digital Portfolio: Create a project to add to your portfolio.

We understand finances might be a barrier to setup your own website and we don't want that, so, we will pay for your domain!
