Hello dear Scratchers!

I have a strong question… but anyway, I will ask.

Is it possible to create a real web site on Scratch?

Thank you for answers!

i very highly doubt it.

No, scratch doesn't support websites. You would need to find a different website for that. You can still post projects that act like websites.

Yeah, me too. But maybe with cloud variables or so…

On a technical level, you could use a scratch project with cloud data to make part of a web server, but you’d need a real one to do the HTTPS stuff.

Wow, it seems very very difficult!! But its possible, yes?

it could in some way

I'm not even sure that's possible

Yep, me too.

If you want something like an extemely basic website, then yes, it's possible. However, if you want a full-featured website with links, embeds, and scrolling, then no, that's not possible.

I can help make a very very VERY basic website. But we could make a full featured website. It is possible. But It will take a LOT of work.

A simplistic website would be possible, however a real, full website is not.

no.

Please be constructive in the forums. Simply saying “no” without providing information is not constructive and does not help at all.

You could also integrate the project into an actual website (some people running gaming websites steal project using this without credit) or if you actually made the project the website you could have animations or even a blog as long as it can run in scratch so maybe if you worked hard on had experience !

You can make a simulation of a website, but as far as I know, it isn't possible to make a “real” website.

I think you can make a fake website telling the users NOT to go to it just incase someone made it some harmful virus website but AFAIK i don't think you can.

If you want a fully interactive Website in Scratch with HTML, CSS and JS the Simple Answer is No. But it is possible. To make one you would need to configure a Cloud Server (I recommend using ScratchConnect with Python) to render the page and then encode the UI and interactivity into a String the encode that string and send it over cloud to a Project which would then decode and reassemble it. A way of converting could be encoding to hex image code and then adding special annotations with the outcome of it. Keep in mind this would only work for UI and basic things like modals and hidden content. Things like Canvas tags or editors could not be done without years of work. It could take a few minutes to load though and connectivity would be low. To make a basic website with Scratch connection would involve a knowledge of Node.JS or Python, HTML, CSS and Advance Scratch Coding.

The answer is No for you, but it is possible for Scratch Team, If you want to create a page about scratch, Go on Scratch Wiki, and request an account, then start making pages!
