Backup of full account

I want to close my account but make a backup of my 2 websites.

What is the fastest way to do this? So how do I download a copy of my entire home directory? As it looks like I have to browse through every directory and download all files 1 by 1.

I have zero coding knowledge. So I'm looking for an easy solution.

There is no solution that is that easy.

Couldn't you just give me a ZIP file of my main directory?

If you need a zip, you could open a Bash console in your home directory and run: zip -r home.zip dir1 dir2 ... command, where dirN would be a directory you want to include in the archive. I recommend running man zip first, or at least zip --help in the console.
