Easiest way to mass create static sites with templates?

[hreyhrey]

So I'm looking to make a large number of websites between maybe 5-10 templates but don't want to use wordpress (annoying to setup + expensive for what I want).

I'm looking to use Amazon S3 to host all the static domains and would love a template + drag n drop static domain maker. I tried webflow, but I'm not in love with it since I'm not looking for anything too powerful.

Any ideas or anything in the marketplace that's affordable to scale?

Check out HUGO or Jekyll. A Little of a learning curve if you want to design the theme and not quite drag and drop. Creating articles with them are easy really only need notepad because they just use markdown. Both have a bunch of user created themes. Both Hugo and Jekyll are blazing fast, secure, and open source.

Site can also be easily deployed where you want too.

Hmm, Hugo seems easy enough even if I have to learn some front end code.
How’s the seo for those sites / templates?

I think seo on those frameworks are great. If you use a external tool like seo surfer or something to replace wordpress plugins like rank math or yoast you won't even miss WordPress.

It's free to host static sites some places
GitHub and Google firebase are some of them. Once your site kinda takes off like 100+ pageviews a day you'll have to pay a few bucks a month. Bit until then it's free while it's in the sandbox.

I use static html for sites with limited pages. If you want to create a blog, then you can try something like Jekyll. There are a lot of guides and tutorials available.

Can you create real looking websites quickly with that? I'm not looking for a fully automated spamdexing site building, more just a very easy to use dragndrop with templates without using Wordpress (for hosting cost savings).

Thanks, I'll look and see if that's what I need. On first glance it looks too spamdexing for my needs, but maybe I'm wrong.
