What is the easiest and simplest website builder/CMS for someone comfortable with tech but who is not a web designer or dev?

WordPress đź’Ż
That's what I'm building pleb.lol on
That’s where I started, but it seems to have way more functionality than I need. Might still use it though 🤷‍♂️
What are you trying to build?
Wordpress?
Hugo is fine for static hosting
Trying WP. nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka recommended Hugo as well, in tandem with netlify.
Do I understand correctly that “static hosting” means that Hugo would publish the site and netlify would be the tool used to design it?
hugo is the open source static site generator with templates. you can host a one person personal hugo site on netlify for free.

I’ve been exploring this too. It looks like netlify requires some CLI and/or GitHub familiarity, no?
yes. if you're not, it's a good excuse to start
here's a great 'getting started' video from 3 years ago
Good point. It’s been on my list. Thanks for the tutorial vid 🙏🫂🫡
With static websites, you can just build content locally and upload to object storage like S3
Depends on what you want to do, but I use Concrete5 if it’s not a blog. I use Ghost for blogs.
Looking into Concrete5. It’ll be a simple text based site with 10-12 pages, at least to get started. Won’t need much beyond the pages, a decent navigation menu, and hyperlinks to a few external sites.
It looks like the full platform is online (not downloading a program or using CLI), right?
So build the design there and then point a domain at it, essentially?
