Using Replit for websites

Tips & Tricks
1

I have used replit to build webapps. In there are landing and pricing pages - all integrated within the app framework (React, etc).

Is it a good idea to use Replit for website which are more or less static? There would be few standard elements like testimonials, contact forms.

I am a good programmer but not a good designer. I was exploring website builders but they were overwhelming to learn and overkill. I am thinking if I should just use Replit.

Is it a good idea?
If so, what should be my approach?
If not, any alternatives?

It’s an excellent idea. HMU if you want a little bit of a roadmap.

I’ve used it to build static only sites as a ‘marketing’ site for full featured ‘web app’. Just prompt Agent/Assistant to ensure it is a static site. Don’t add database or other features that require autoscale deploy.

From what I understand, static sites cannot be deployed if Replit Agent started them, just an fyi. There are definitely workarounds, but something to keep in mind.

What do you mean ‘static’ sites?

A static site where it’s just a front-end html website.

Ah. Never used it. I’ll always want to add interactive, engaging elements to my sites, regardless of the use case.
