Tldr we want a static website that will last a long time and also look pretty nice.
Right now, we have a wordpress website. It looks very nice. It also have 4 extensions that aren’t configured to auto update. Also whenever I try to make changes to the website they don’t apply because the website was configured via the extensions and I hate it.
I want a static site of some kind. It’s simple to self host or host anywhere, and it’s also simple to secure and keep maintained for a long time.
I am currently looking at static site generators, like quarto, or docusaurus
However, they are difficult to theme to the “niceness” that I want, and their nature results in these somewhat fixed output formats. Like, it is somewhat difficult and annoying to put images anywhere I want them and etc.
Is there like a fixed WYSIWYG html editor? Something between designing a website from scratch and a static site generator. Or is there a way to finagle static site generators to be more flexible than blogs or documentation sites?
don’t bother learning html and css, just use claude code and it’ll get you a nice basic website, unless you’re looking to code as a hobby then go for your life
Even if you use AI tools for drafting, you’ll want to know enough CSS and HTML to be able to parse the code and make adjustments where needed. Being completely ignorant of how to read the output from AI coding tools is never a good idea.
Honestly AI isn’t bad at basic websites, webapps, little simulations even.
I know it won’t be popular because people would rather downvote and claim AI is useless but it genuinely is amazing and claude is clearly the best by far
if you want to self host your own you can do that for example with /c/localllama@sh.itjust.works
