What the class covered

The class showed how to use Tanix Code Lab and the admin panel to build and manage websites. It explained that simple websites that only display information may not need a back end, while websites that collect form data, manage orders, or process payments do. The class also demonstrated admin panel features such as logos, contact details, opening hours, messages, and test payments.

Key takeaways

  • Use Code Lab to paste the code generated by an AI tool.
  • A website that only displays information may not need a back end.
  • Use a back end when you need to save form submissions, manage accounts, or handle orders and payments.
  • Check the admin panel to view messages and orders submitted on your website.
  • Use test payment settings and fake details while testing payments.

Prompts to try

I want to build a website for my business. I run a barber shop.

Give me an announcement message to show at the top of my website.

When a user fills in this form, I want to receive the message from the admin panel.

Test yourself

1. Does every website need a back end?

2. Where can you view messages submitted through a website form?

3. What should you use when testing payments?
