Help needed with Ghost/Gatbsy/Netlify site. Happy to skill swap.

Hello to the community!

This is my first post, sorry that I'm asking for help but I'm stuck :/

I need help setting up a blog. I think using Ghost, Gatsby & Netlify.

First off, I'd be more than happy to skill swap on this. I'm a senior product manager with 5 years experience in enterprise SaaS. My background is in design & UX. So let me know if we could partner up and I could help you in return.

Currently, I've built a static HTML/CSS site for my new startup Poise. Poise creates podcasts from existing blog posts. http://getpoise.co.uk/

I know HTML/CSS and I make changes to the site all the time. It's deployed on Netlify which I love because it makes it super easy for me to make changes and push a new version of the site to the world.

I don't want to lose the ability to make rapid changes to the static site. This is critical.

What I need is a blog.

What I understand is that to keep using Netlfiy, I could make use of a headless CMS, build the pages with Gatsby & then deploy to Netlify.

I looked in Contentful but I really don't like the editor.

Ghost has a really nice editor.

What I thought was possible was to keep my static site (so I can make rapid changes) & have a blog in a sub-directory. www.getpoise.co.uk/blog for example.

I understand that using a subdomain is bad for SEO. So I don't want to do that.

However, what I'm maybe discovering is that I would need to convert my static site to Gatbsy to make use of Ghost in this way?

But I don't want to do that because I want to keep making rapid changes to my site.

As you can see, I'm pretty confused. So any advice or help would be much appreciated.

As I mentioned above, I would be more than happy to do a skill swap & help you out on any project. I have lots of product experience and I'm sure I can add value.

Thanks!
