Nice article! Jekyll is also in my to-learn basket. I love the thought of a pure HTML /JS/CSS site served up by a CDN. I was thinking of using Jekyll, Cloudflare (free tier to handle DNS, CDN and TLS) and something like Amazon S3 for storage. Would be cheap and fast.
The cons listed are significant. Not sure I'd want to use it to, say, build a page for my friend's business. While their needs are simple I'd like to empower my friend to manage it themselves, hence why I've pushed friends down the path of products like WordPress. Likely the reason why I may end up keeping Jekyll on the to-learn list.
Totally agree. That slight dependency of knowing how to code and use the terminal means its not really suited for (most) clients to manage their own sites.
You could also rely on GitHub for free hosting...
