What are your go to tools for building a webpage FAST and CHEAP?
I'm decently skilled at building a webpage manually with HTML and CSS, but it takes me hours to get everything laid out and behaving correctly, responsive on mobile, etc. It seems silly to do this when I am just building a landing page that I'll probably change later anyways.
A few minutes of Googling got me to Wix, which is a nice editor, but they don't let you download the source and unless you want an ugly domain and their ads on your page you need a subscription. (Unless you can use such a site to validate your idea...is this acceptable?)
So... what do you use to quickly whip up webpages cheaply?
bootstrap has a nice framework that makes the responsive part very easy. Mobile first is something you should follow.
Look into jekyll, where you can use fancy stuff like HAML which will unclutter the visual mess that is HTML. Jekyll renders a static website for you which any webserver (or even S3) will serve for you.
Send me a mail if you need some more hints.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Jekyll led to me to discover Github's free static site hosting, you saved me a dollar a month on Amazon's Route 53! Thank youuu
well, github is okay until you want use more jekyll plugins. but just static html is fine.
