Build a Free Website on Cloudflare (No Coding Background) (Ebook)

Go from zero to a live website on Cloudflare's free plan: create and secure your account, write basic HTML and CSS, deploy with drag and drop or Wrangler, connect a domain (including .ng options), and add a mailing-list form backed by a D1 database.

You don't need a server, a big budget or a computer science degree to have a real website. This step-by-step guide shows Nigerian beginners how to build and publish a site on Cloudflare's free plan.

You'll start with what's actually free: Cloudflare's current limits for Workers, Pages and D1, from the official docs. Then you'll secure your account, plan your site, and write simple HTML and CSS for an example small business, with every line explained.

Next, you'll go live in minutes with drag-and-drop deployment, then learn the gentle command-line route with Wrangler and Workers static assets. You'll see how to get your own domain, including how Cloudflare Registrar pricing works and how to buy a .ng/.com.ng domain from a NiRA-accredited registrar and connect it.

Finally, you'll add a Worker script and build a "join our mailing list" form that saves emails into a D1 database. The example code was tested by the author with Wrangler 4. There are also chapters on GitHub auto-deploys, accessibility and trust signals, a launch checklist, an error-troubleshooting table, FAQs and a glossary.

Facts and steps were checked against Cloudflare's official documentation in October 2026. A sources page is included. The final chapter mentions the author's News & Blog Site Template on Selar as an optional shortcut, but you don't need it.
