Problem: how to build a website without knowing how to ‘code’?

Current scenario: you don’t know anything about HTML, CSS and JavaScript and you don’t even have the money to hire a developer and you need a simple website.

What is Publii CMS?

Publii is an open source static website generator for all skill levels (from beginner to developer).

Publii is the perfect tool for creating static websites without having to know how to code in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

How to install and build your website with Publii

Publii is a static website generator designed to create a personal blog, portfolio or corporate website.

It allows you to build, modify and manage an unlimited number of websites from the same application with instant switching; no database or other credentials to remember.

No coding or HTML required.

Sites created with Publii are lightning fast and nearly impenetrable to hackers; the app works locally, you don’t have to worry about security updates or managing databases.

Solution: install the Publii program (win/mac/linux).

Designed to be fast

You can create a stylish, modern website that will run faster than lightning, even on mobile, thanks to Google’s AMP technology.

Collaborative

It’s a desktop program, so you can manage your sites on the go.

Share your site via Dropbox or other cloud storage and let multiple users update your content.

And the website optimization part — SEO?

SEO can be a complex business, but as Publii has a ton of understandable and flexible options to help you get the best out of your search engine rankings.

I tested it here and found it super interesting, because with Publii you have:

• automatically generated sitemap.xml;
• structured data;
• meta tags;
• HTML and CSS compression;
• AMP pages;
• editing titles,
• descriptions, etc…

Publishing is super easy

I created a test site on my PC and after I tweaked the design a bit (it comes with a ready-to-use template, but you can install other free themes or not), I connected the program with a free hosting, called Netlify.app or GitHub Pages, and uploaded the files in seconds!

Ready, new site in the air with no frills and super fast.

Conclusion

If you have the profile below, this solution is ideal:

knows nothing of programming;has no money to invest in development; you need a simple, super fast, responsive website that has a top score on Google’s Core Web Vitals (see my test site score):

This site you are on now, was made in Publii and I uploaded it via FTP to the subdomain of the main domain.

Anyway, more as an alternative to earning money by creating static websites for small businesses.
