Comment on Best tool for creating a basic business website

Have used Jekyll, Hugo, and Docusaurus to generate static sites, and Wordpress and Ghost for blogs.

A few things to think about:

If one-person, technical, static, I’d go with Jekyll and Github pages, or Jekyll/Hugo/Docusaurus on Cloudflare pages. They all have templates. But you need to know how to setup github repos and tools. Cost is $0 to operate, other than annual fee for custom DNS domain name.

If more than one person, non-technical, or dynamic, then hosted Wordpress or Ghost. Budget for DNS name and ~20-50 dollars or euros/month (plus or minus, depending on features and traffic). There are free versions of these, but they slap ads all over them.

You can self-host all these, but it’s much easier to have someone else deal with traffic spikes.

If you need community forums or a way for users to communicate with each other, then none of the above.
