Static Websites Overview
Static sites are pre-rendered HTML, CSS, and JS files served from a web server or CDN. They are fast, secure, and easy to deploy. Typical workflow:
- Prerequisites: Install the frameworkโs CLI and runtime (Node.js, Ruby, Python, etc.).
- Create project: Use a starter/template or CLI to scaffold.
- Run locally: Start a dev server with hot reload.
- Build: Produce static files into a
dist
,build
,public
, orsite
folder. - Deploy: Upload the output folder to any static host (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, S3, Azure Static Web Apps, etc.).
Refer to the framework-specific pages for exact commands.
