Launch a content site

Content sites prerender to static HTML, so landing pages, portfolios, and blogs load fast.

If your project is mostly content, like a landing page, portfolio, blog, or event page, start from the website Template. Pages prerender to static HTML, which loads fast and needs no server.

How it fits together

• Each page is its own file. A new page means a new file in the site.
• Blog posts are Markdown files with a title, description, and date. Drafts stay out of the build.
• Interactive parts (forms, widgets) switch on where the page needs them. Until they switch on, controls should look usable or disabled, never silently dead.
• A page that needs the Database skips prerendering. Keep such pages few and small.

Sites that grow accounts or live collaboration outgrow this shape. Say so early: ask for an app instead of stretching the site.
