As others have mentioned, a static site generator would be one solution. Hugo is quite simple to install but it can take a while to customise templates.

-
nuxt
Nuxt is an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web apps and websites with Vue 3.

Previously I've used Nuxt2 and even sooner - hexo.io

eleventy 🕚⚡️

Project mention: Looking to connect a plain HTML/CSS site to Strapi CMS for dynamic blogs. Easiest way to do this? | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2023-02-04If next is feeling too heavy for you, maybe look into eleventy. It's a lightweight static site generator that you can easily suck remote serial content into.
-
Project mention: Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2023-01-29
You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola.
-
stencil
A toolchain for building scalable, enterprise-ready component systems on top of TypeScript and Web Component standards. Stencil components can be distributed natively to React, Angular, Vue, and traditional web developers from a single, framework-agnostic codebase.
We used https://stenciljs.com/ for web components to be consumed by angular, AEM and react at a previous employer. It uses tsx/jsx. Components are easy to write and it has good documentation.

gutenberg
A fast static site generator in a single binary with everything built-in. https://www.getzola.org
Project mention: I made a simple static website to host my mixes in FLAC for free. | reddit.com/r/DJs | 2023-01-17I'm using Cloudflare R2 object storage for the FLAC files, which is free for < 10 GB of storage. They don't charge for bandwidth, only API calls, which you won't pay unless you're getting millions of visitors. The web pages are hosted for free with Vercel and made with the Zola static site generator. So all I have to pay for is the domain name.
-
React Static
-
Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.
-
Project mention: who is self-hosting a static website and what are you using to build it? | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2022-06-11
I use Metalsmith. Been happy with it. I build my site into a self-contained nginx docker image.
