Ask HN: How are you building your content website in 2024 ?

1 points by gj0 2y ago ↗ HN

Hey Everyone, I want to start and build a content website. I have done keyword research using Ahrefs, built out a good list. However I am struggling to choose the right framework or tool for developing the website.

I am a web app developer and I have worked mostly with React and Node. Any recommendations on what should I use to build out the website ?

Preferably a tool/framework using which I can get out of the box content website with a dashboard for editing content, and which is customisable going ahead.

HTML+CSS, as little JS as is possible if any at all. Notepad++

I have a (currently offline) site that uses REBOL+Vanilla for self-modification.

Why complicate your life any more than it needs?

If you actually want to publish, and focus on content I would choose WordPress. If you want to tinker, choose something "cool". I'm only half-kidding but I get sucked into tinkering too often. Whether that be my gaming machine, my ATV or my website side hustle.
