I am starting my journey as a developer and building a simple website for an NGO.

Are you familiar with Turbo and Stimulus? These seem like the very Rails-centric way to accomplish "sprinkles" of JS in an otherwise very interactive site.
As far as hosting goes, render.com would give a lot of Heroku-esqe simplicity at a cheaper price. But if you want something even cheaper while still being much easier than stuff that's closer to the metal, I'd recommend checking out hatchbox.io as another option.
Thanks! You are correct indeed, my basic JS is Turbo and Stimulus but although it feels tempting to use Rails, I don't think the scale of the project requires a backend and I'd rather learn to adapt to the project than do the opposite!
Thank you for your feedback! would you know some use-cases or specificities of Jekyll over Hugo or Astro? From the glimpse I got at those 2 static site generators, Hugo seems to work similarly while Astro might have some interface for the client to update the page.
I'll definitely have a look at Netlify Drop in that case!
Thank you for the help as well, I think I'll make a serie on the project for documentation and if it can help future newbies!
Cheers!
Hey Cedric, I would recommend a static site generator like Hugo as mentioned or something similar being Astro, Gatsby and next.js. I have a post about some great sites for themes and templates that might help you get inspired. Good luck with your project!
Thank you very much Travis!
