Lesson 3—Hosting static site with Netlify

In this lesson, we try to deploy a simple one-page web page on Netlify by dragging the folder onto the deployment area.

Drag-n-drop to deploy

We can deploy static website as easy as by dragging the folder into Netlify.

Here is a short video demonstrating this.

Going beyond static

We can go beyond static by adding the following technologies:

• Git commits for continuous deployment.
• Single-page JavaScript-basd utilies.
• Form submissions via server-side helpers.
• Dynamic server-side logic via lambda functions.

Usage example

• Video promotion
• Minimal personal website
• inQRCode.com
• draw.mz-lab.com
• Quick hosting of presentation materials.
• https://learning-deck.netlify.app/
• Web books.
• mak.la Short URL redirection

We will learn more on enhancing static one-page website with more functionalities in later lessons.
