Github was used to deploy my website as it is free and quite a popular tool among developers. I was also introduced to Github in my previous modules therefore I was the most confortable in using it.

I used the following guide to walk me throught the steps required to deploy a website:https://www.codecademy.com/articles/f1-u3-github-pages
