You could build what you describe with literally any tech stack. You don't specify how much, if any, coding experience you have but this is the kind of thing you want to keep really simple. If you know a stack like Ruby on Rails or Laravel, you could use one of them to spit out a bunch of server rendered pages very quickly. Then just deploy the resulting app on Digital Ocean or a single AWS EC2 instance. Keep it simple.
- ScandinavianGuy 6y agoI know HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python. I have worked with Django but i find that it often gets to complex, feature rich and abstract for very simple products. I will definetly look into Ruby on Rails, i get the impression that it's a pretty lightweight but capable framework compared to others Thanks:)
- sirodoht 6y agoRuby on Rails is definitely not lightweight. Maybe Flask would suit you better.
- ScandinavianGuy 6y agoHmmm, i need to do some more research
- richeyryan 6y agoRails is basically just super Django. Its aims to be a similar proposition. If you find it too complex you should look at Flask like the other poster suggested. I'm working from the perspective that you want to get this over the finish line as soon as possible and its about delivering the product. With that assumption, I'd say stick with Django because you'll have everything you need and the built in admin site should let you take big shortcuts. If you want to learn more and make more decisions yourself Flask would be a good option, you just might have to set things up that you'd get for free with Django. If you're OK with that, then that's cool.
- ScandinavianGuy 6y agoAll right thanks, i will go with Django.
- ah88 6y agoGood response, just a side note: there are much simpler and cheaper hosting options than EC2. Consider Heroku, AWS Elsastic Beanstalk, probably others.
