ChrisLamont:
I am relatively new to Arduino and her is my situation. I've been working on my project for a while now and am currently trying to send data to a website with an Arduino. With doing a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that I should use an Esp8266. The problem is, I have no clue how to work it. At the same time, I am also trying to make a website but I'm also a beginner in that field too (I know this isn't the really the place to ask about websites so if anyone could refer me to something to teach me how to make a website that could would be great!) Currently I know a bit of HTML and a fair bit of Arduino. The end goal would be to send the data from the Arduino and Get it on a website I would greatly appreciate it if someone could try and help me.Thanks
if you stick with the ESP8266 module's default AT firmware read Arduino & ESP8266 Webserver – Martyn Currey
if you replace the ESP8266 module's default AT firmware with ESP8266 Arduino Core firmware

Of course, re-programming the ESP8266 flash is a challenge as well
