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.

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.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
