Hey, #tech side of Mastodon, I have a #question

Is Squarespace actually good? Is Wix actually good? Is there a superior option out there?

I know it's possible to learn HTML but I don't really want to do that, and I also don't really want to spend the money commissioning someone who can make a good website themselves.

My goal is to make an author website where I can promote my works, have a portfolio, publish some stories, and have a small blog.

@xenophonvos You could try #GravCMS (https://getgrav.org/), a basic, user-friendly flat-file CMS (no database) that you can host anywhere that supports PHP.

It sits in between a full CMS and a static site generator...

@jpoesen Are we sure "user-friendly" includes someone who doesn't know PHP (but knows what it is) and doesn't know what a CMS is?

@xenophonvos We're sure Grav is the wrong suggestion for someone not looking to spend either money or effort on getting something built.

If you change your mind, here's a great place to start: https://neocities.org/
