  1. hakyll

    A static website compiler library in Haskell

    Honestly, I've had a great experience with Hakyll for static site generation. There's a bit of a learning curve to effectively use the library/framework, but in my opinion the learning curve is much lower than Yesod/Fay. If all you need is to build static website pages, I'd suggest Hakyll.

  3. Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

    I’d also recommend using a CSS framework, to spare yourself the frustration of either trying to tinker with the nitty gritty until things finally look OK or alternatively having to deal with looking at an ugly website the whole time. Milligram is a good starting point here that makes your website look OK literally by just adding one line, Tailwind is more involved to get started with but for me the easiest to use if you’re trying to get a custom look, Bootstrap is kind of a middle ground here - it gives you components to work with so it’s a bit more pluggable than Milligram and it’ll have something for most things you’re trying to do, but it’ll also be pretty hard to achieve a custom look (it can be done, but without putting a ton of effort into it your website will basically look like a “bootstrap website”, which is probably not an issue for you right now but it is a downside).

  4. Milligram

    A minimalist CSS framework.

  5. Bootstrap

    The most popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.
