Its solid advice if that is your problem and if you are migrating from a standard wordpress. I ran into another problem - I wanted a static site[0].
I tried some of the static hosting engines, including Jekyll, but they always seemed to want to force my site into a blog format. Yeah with some work they could partially be twisted into what I wanted, but only partially.
Do you know of a static website builder that builds websites, and not blogs?
[0]: The difference to me is that my content should never have a date associated with it, and the landing page should be a landing page, not a list of recent pages.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoBuild your website like you would normally and then crawl it to build a static html site. Years ago I used some npm library that was like a fancy `wget -r` for this purpose. I was generating a static site from an express server I made.

- tasuki 2y agoJekyll is perfectly fine even for non blog sites. I organise a yearly event (https://lsg.go.art.pl/english https://lsg.go.art.pl/english) and made its website with Jekyll (https://github.com/tasuki/lsg https://github.com/tasuki/lsg). Absolutely no blog involved. Middleman is nice if you need something more flexible than what Jekyll can offer.
