Is there was a software (preferably on Linux) where I can drag and drop to quickly make a website with HTML and CSS and export the resulting code?

I know of a lot of online site that charge a lot of money for this, but I was hoping that an open source software exists for this.

P.S: I want to make a simple static personal website. Possible have a link from where they can download PDF samples of my writing/ literature / creative work.

    Closest thing I know of is Wordpress with a static site export plugin.

    There are static site generators like Hugo but they are not a drag and drop editor.

    Depends, is it a static site? There’s some good projects like this for quickly rolling out something static.

    It’s more command-line than click and drop, but maybe it’s close to what you’re looking for?

    Hugo is widely used for static resume sites, so I think this could work for you if you’re familiar with command-line Linux.

      Don’t you have to write your own code in Neocities? I don’t remember seeing a drag and drop option when I played with it.

      Definitely Publii, the most polished I’ve tried lately and perfect for simple static websites. Nice app, offline, free/open source.

        Do you have experience with videos in Publii? I’m wondering about using it to recreate my website, which uses a full-width, background-looping, auto-playing video; I have no idea of how to do this despite repeatedly tinkering and trying to read up on iframes. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

          I unfortunately don’t have any experience with video in Publii.

          Hopefully this would be an easy to add feature at some point.
