The front-end isn't complete, but I was thinking of hooking it up with some sort of back-end. Preferable with django or flask as per what @Pancham1603 says Cuz PHP sucks anyways . The site is more or less fine without it, but I think this could make the work of maintaining and updating it a lot more easier....

can make placeholder text everywhere being fetched from a db. updating stuff will be easier then

having a backend is not an issue but hosting is, i guess that was the primary reason to make a new static website

I found the best hosting service for this, and it's free https://www.pythonanywhere.com/

Its got reasonable CPU, disk limits which is more than enough. Basically its meant for hosting flask/django webapps

I am in then, if we are playing around so much so let the index.html just have {{ html|safe }} and fetch all the html content from a database so that editing the website content gets lot more easier. Adding blog posts, projects etc. ez

That's one thing, but I like the front-end of the website being separated from the back-end/db. It is usually not such a good practice to do that, but if that makes things more easy then that's fine as well. Creating a back-end project for this repo then.

we still need a hosting cuz pythonanywhere.com has a cpu limit of 100seconds/day and doesn't allow custom domains and there's a lot more, ig we'll have to stick to the front-end

This will be a static site.
