You could use Brizy cloud as well. You build your website in a modern editor, but they offer to expert to any server location you want as static HTML, and it's free if you don't need any fancy blocks as well. I am using it myself:
-
I use https://getpublii.com, then I upload the content on surfer.
Publii has an option to import Wordpress websites (content only, not the theme or template).
-
Publii is good if you don’t mind installing it locally and pushing the content to a Surfer app.
Or you could install Hugo in Surfer or LAMP and publish the site to correct location. Or indeed locally install Hugo Jekyll 11ty etc and push published site to a Surfer app.

@timconsidine The way Publii works with a remote drive is intended for one person working from multiple locations, rather than for multiple people collaborating on the same website.
-
I used Publii with Google Drive it was fine
I also tried with GitHub, worked tooI found the best "Host" for Publii is to use it GitHub and Cloudflare Page as they will be at the Edge.
Developper's of Publii specifically target WordPress user who are looking for a static alternative.
-
other alternative is to keep WordPress as backend and use something like https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/isr-blog-nextjs-wordpress for the front end.
-
another alternative is to use Notion and with NextJS
like whith this: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/nextjs-notion-starter-kit
it work well, but not entirely open source (Notion)
but possible to automate with n8n which is sadly not possible for Publii -

@LoudLemur I love the idea of AnyType
But How do you use it as a CMS like it is possible with Notion ?
They say Publishing Web is a Requested Feature, not yet done. -
@JOduMonT Obsidian looks nice. I haven't been using AnyType very much and can't really comment.
You might like to look at some of these, for example, have you tried Astro?
- Astro: https://astro.build/blog/introducing-astro/
- VuePress: https://vuepress.vuejs.org/
- Gridsome: https://gridsome.org/
- Eleventy: https://www.11ty.dev/
- NuxtJS (Static): https://www.nuxtjs.cn/blog/going-full-static
While we are talking about static sites, lets not forget the Gemini Protocol:
-
Publii looks interesting. For the people that use Publii, are there more themes than what's available on their own Marketplace?
-
@eddowding, ghost is really good for everyday blogs and website. On top they are working on integrating the activitypub protocol to it, meaning that your website could contribute to a social network open and decentralize.

@jrl-abstract27 I'd be happy & confident with Ghost. I'd like it to just do Pages and not Posts, so that the home page is just another page.
Apparently there are themes which have this as a feature but I can't find one yet, and I don't really want to go fussing about with Routes etc.
I just found the instructions to create ahome.hbs
and so have copied that and will tinker with the index a bit. Still weird that it's not a main option but so it goes. Thank you for the prompt to not be so lazy -
I am a big fan of Statamic CMS.
A bit similar to Grav, but better in my opinion. Based on Laravel (i.e. PHP), can be used with or without a database (flatfile first), headless/JAMstack or classic, suitable for small or very large sites, great maintenance backend for editors, well documented, easy to update ...
