Hello Wayne. I'm in the process or migrating a file sharing web site to a new platform. The first step is to create a static version of the site, in order to host it a an archive until the new site is ready. While doing it, It appeared to me that creating and hosting a static web site could be a viable solution, if accompanied by a simple administration module. I'm programming my own solution. Since my day job is programming web sites in Python (using so-called "frameworks"), it's relatively easy for me (although time consuming). The main components are a data source (sql, no-sql, json files, etc), a set of custom Python scripts, and the Mako template engine (used by Reddit). For HTML styling I use the popular Bootstrap library. To publish the resulting static site, I will use rsync over ssh. The main advantage of this technique is that only a basic HTTP server is required, lowering the complexity and the cost of hosting. I would recommend a similar technique, because I believe it's more flexible than using frameworks and services. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are DIY. That said, the learning curve could be long, but it's worth it. Maybe a better solution would be to use something like Jekyll, listed as the most popular on https://staticsitegenerators.net/. Good luck! -- Marc
