I am a back en dev who is terrible at anything frontend. I can not design web pages. I know my stuff in the hosting and back end development though.
Now I have started my own firm for consulting as a dev/ops engineer and would like to serve some sort of company web page.
What I want is very simple. One page. Good looking design. Information about my company and what I do, and a mailto -link for contacting me.
One single simple static web page for this. No fancy scrolling or effects.
How do I go about this? I have tried 11ty, Hugo, WordPress, and simple HTML templates.
I feel like neither of these are the right tool. They are either very complicated, full of features, or they create badly looking web pages.
11ty, Hugo and Jekyll all seem nice and more like what I need, but they are focused towards blogging which does not fit my use case. The templates that look good that I found didn’t work and had minimal or no instructions at all about how to get them to work.
What is clear to me is that I have a huge front end shaped gap in my competence that I should work on. Please do not bash me over this.
Now that you understand my situation; What tool or template would you recommend that I use?
I just want a simple good looking landing page with info and a link.
Thank you for any support or advice. I am just tired of failing at something I feel like should be an easy task to manage.
When you have to ask, consult a professional. Last time I made a webpage for our company, it was with the senior boss, on a Friday afternoon/evening, with a simple paint program and a text editor. That was 30+ years ago. I would not touch web frontend development with a ten foot pole, even though I basically program anything that is not on a tree at the count of three.
