How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries

An innocent question was posted on IndieHackers the other day: "I'm asking what did you use to build your website".

The question sparked an idea to write about the tech stack that KodingKitty team uses for its own web. And we warn you beforehand: it's so simple that some of you might find it shocking.

You have been warned.

    Interesting, might work for developers how about for client sites or if the marketing team need to update?

    Also python package management is annoying.

    If you step back ideally you could skip 4/5 steps.

    • Update site on a website/desktop app
    • Sync to github (site is automatically published)

    Now anyone can update the site with all the benefits of the above.

      Hi @volkandkaya,
      the post describes what we use for our very own site.

      For the clients we provide HTML, CSS and Tailwind configuration plus basic JS where it makes sense. If they need an update, we update it as changes are included in our fee.

      Python package management can be challenging, but for our solution we only use built-in Python libraries + Jinja2. This is no hassle at all.

        "we update it as changes are included in our fee" is that best for the client?
