🌍 Live! Your site went from your hard drive to a public server: anyone, anywhere, can open it with the address. That's what going live is. The next modules show HOW: hosting, domain, deployment.
What this teaches you
Local ≠ live
💻 Local
The site is on your machine. Handy for building and testing it, but invisible to the world.
🌍 Live
Put on a server running 24/7, reachable via a URL. That's "publishing" — making it public.
