    Looking to do a small personal website that will keep folx up-to-date on new music releases I put out, events I'm hosting, and random ramblings.

    Curious as to what options are out there - free and easy to use would be ideal set up.

      Use WordPress. It's by far the most used content management platform, so if you're a beginner, you'll find the most resources. It's also free and open source.

      Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.

      There's also Wix for very simple page builds.

        Ghost or Nextra could be options they use markdown for content.

          If you’re on macOS, there’s blocs. It seems to pop up on BundleHunt for a fraction of their normal price every once in a while.

          Then, there’s RapidWeaver Elements - which just went into Early Access.

          However, you might want to evaluate whether a static site generator or some small CMS like GRAV can work for you.

                      seamonkey's a direct descendant of netscape communicator and still includes a wysiwyg editor. it's pretty good for basic stuff.

                        Where do you house these music releases? I'm always down to listen to new tunes. Oh, and tho I've never run Ghost, I hear a lot of great things about it. Might be something to look into.

                              Your in self hosting community... You can't build in Wix and selfhost. Wix relies on their infrastructure always being present.

                                  chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn't recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I've had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

                                    I've never actually used it, but Faircamp caught my eye a while ago. https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/

                                    I'm not sure if you can create a blog with it -- it might only be for showcasing your music, no text posts. It definitely looks nice, though.

                                        I've messed around with this a bit and it's really fun. Reminded me of making dumb "websites" in elementary school.

                                          chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn't recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I've had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

                                          I agree, I only include it as a "woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!" lower barrier to entry.

                                          Try WordPress first. If they're absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.
