Upload the sketch to your ESP8266 board.

You can edit css on webserver in the code.

You can change SSID (wifi name) and add password in the code.

Use Arduino ESP8266 filesystem uploade

In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create tools directory if it doesn't exist yet.

Put esp8266fs.jar to path <Disk>\<User>\Documents\Arduino\tools\ESP8266FS\tool** Create a directory named data in your sketch directory and put any files you want in the file system there

Select Flash Size

Select the flash size of your ESP8266 board in Tools > Flash Size menu. FS (File System) Must be 2MB or more. I used 4MB (FS:3MB OTA:~512KB).
