THE RESULT YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD

Done means it works.

The approved public URL serves the intended version and all relative assets and links resolve.

Practice project: Harbor Home Care

01 / GET READY

Before you start.

Platform / editor
HTML, CSS and JavaScript; Python local preview server
Access & plan
Text editor, modern browser and Python for local preview. Hosting and form-backend accounts are needed only for their corresponding lessons.
Starting point
Complete the previous lesson or use an equivalent prepared demo project.

Keep a note of the exact account, project and version you use. Work with demo data and record the expected result before making changes. Never place passwords, verification codes or private customer records in your evidence.

02 / LEARN THE TOOL

Open the official walkthrough.

Use the publisher's instructions and available screenshots to locate the current controls. Then return here for the SETLY exercise and its result checks. These links open on the publisher's website.

Source credit belongs to the named publisher. These are external references, not SETLY recordings or a claim of affiliation. Screen names and plan availability can change.

03 / PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Your task, step by step.

Use one labelled demo record or project so you can find your work again. Finish each action before continuing; if the screen differs, consult the matching official source rather than guessing.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Confirm the starter contains only public files. Remove local notes, credentials and private images from the folder you intend to publish.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Create a repository for the demo and follow the hosting provider's deployment instructions. Use the included relative asset paths when hosting under a project subpath.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Record the exact public URL and commit or file version. Open the address signed out and visit every page and asset.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Test navigation and layout again on the hosted copy. Keep the previous working version available for rollback.

04 / GET UNSTUCK

If something goes wrong.

Start with the likely cause

If assets fail only after deployment, inspect path case and root-relative URLs. A local path on your computer cannot be loaded by visitors.

My screen is different from the guide

Check the product, editor, account role and selected project first. Open the credited official instructions for your version. Record the difference and pause any action whose effect you cannot verify.

The screen looks correct, but the result is missing

Inspect the saved record, published page or execution log that should prove the action. A preview, success message or draft is not always evidence that data was stored or a message was delivered. Retest with one unique demo value.

05 / PROVE THE RESULT

Check it before you call it done.

The approved public URL serves the intended version and all relative assets and links resolve.

Keep useful evidence

Record the test date, project/version, expected result, observed result and a non-sensitive screenshot or record reference. Mark anything you did not test as untested. Your checkmarks do not certify an untested result.
