One Website Needs Three Tools for Links, QR, and Pages
Creators and small businesses are frustrated with existing website building tools. They desire flexibility and customization beyond basic templates, often needing multiple tools for different functionalities like link-in-bios, short links, and QR codes. The process is often overwhelming and lacks a streamlined workflow.

“Getting ready to audit my site and really update everything. I understand the importance of internal links but is there a way you track or plan it? Do you just kind of link to what feels right? Then, do you keep a spreadsheet or something…”
“I would like to see the top of that page layout, I'm really new to HomePage coming from Dashy.”
“Hi, I am Khushal, solo founder of Vivaahli (a simple marriage biodata maker website) - I initially created 3 events (start biodata, start checkout, purchase) and assigned them to respective categories in "Sales" section of "Goals" tab - Since each category requires one primary action, I made all 3 as primary and gave the rest two (apart from purchase) value of 1 - Now it worked fine except the reporting was messed up as those 1 unit actions were being counted - So I made the”
“generatepress or kadence free version. skip the page builders. a fast bare bones site ranks better than a slow fancy one every time. add content as you go instead of trying to launch perfect”
“I hope I will be as solid in CSS one day as you are. As sweet as that is, I am by no means good. Everything I know you could learn in a few hours. it's that easy. And margins should be the last thing you work on imo. Get the style down, then the margins. It's easier that way so you can do all the margins in one css file.”
I don't recognize some of these blocks. Any html blocks/plugins?
“Two whole weekends. I didn't really know any CSS either, but it's fairly easy to learn. It's basically BBCode on crack, so if you peruse forums you might be familiar how some things work. It may be looked down on, but using ChatGPT to learn CSS is a fine way to do it IMO. As long as you are the one in control of the actual styling.”
“hi! i am a teenager and i have been making jewelry for around 4ish years now, and i started doing nails 2ish years ago. in January i opened my shop on Makerplace, and just today i set up a more official website using Square Online (or whatever its called)! i have only gotten one sale online though, the rest have been in person, and that makes it a lot harder to track my sales. i don't even know how many i have had (maybe 5-6?). i have also been in and out of inpatient/residential mental trea”
“After getting some nice comments last week, instead of implementing the feedback 1 I got I added a new feature. I'm trying to start a series of pages for some basic tools. It's probably nothing you haven't seen before, I'm doing it just to tinker and learn. They'll all be Free to use - no sign ups, no nothing Private - my site doesn't really log 2 or save data Educational - I'm hoping to make people not just use tools, but understand them a bit better too The first on”
“For anyone coming up on this 2 years later, I just got here after doing a Django tutorial that made me use Bootstrap (so I was wondering if it was important) and an HTML/CSS course on freeCodeCamp I found super useful. u/manuLearning , what did you end up going with?”
“The MockPilot Editor MockPilot captures any live webpage as an editable HTML mockup, then lets you modify it with plain English - "swap the hero image," "shorten the pricing copy,""try a dark theme." Built for PMs, designers, and devs who need to communicate a change without a full Figma round-trip.

“So… how is this different to a canvas with metabind buttons, or even just tabled links, to MOCs? Edit: reread my comment and it wasn’t supposed to be harsh. Honest question, what advantages or additional features do you gain from your plugin?”
This is perfect. Making things can be the best because all you wanted to do was make something. Oddly enough, this is the exact kind of things that improves your technical skills…
“Don't ask, try and figure what works for you. Some like to have plenty of well organised directories, some prefer an in depth template and front matter setup with bases, some swear by linking with wiki links other prefer tags and yet some more have a different use for both... And each of them will be here explaining how their way is the best, not everyone's perfect setup can be the best for everyone else but everyone can have their own best setup. Experiment and find yours”
“This is incredibly helpful feedback. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response. You perfectly understood what I was trying to achieve with the design, and I think you’re right about the confidence meter. Making it obviously fake or actually dynamic would probably strengthen the joke instead of leaving it in that awkward middle ground. I really appreciate this! 🙏”
“Thanks a lot! 😄 That’s honestly the exact reaction I was hoping for. If it made you smile, then the project already achieved its goal. Really appreciate you taking the time to check it out!”
“Hello! Just looking for any options/ honest feedback for my website and any ideas how to improve. All hand coded by me. Just look at the homepage rather than the other pages I'm still updating and working on things for the other pages. Link: www.cadencealexia.com submitted by /u/Top-Bag-33 [link] [comments]”
“Hours, photos, and the contact info usually need fixing. Durable is fine for that first pass, but it still spits out some weird copy and the map was wrong on one i saw, which is kinda annoying tbh”
“I think they're seriously underrated, love them. Unfortunately being able to import an HTML template tag like a JS module never survived, which would have made them even more lovely. https://www.w3.org/TR/html-imports/”

“How do you make such good homepages ??!! which plugins do you use ? Btw it looks amazing”
“I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but my whole project is to get better at AI and, hopefully, grow a website. I plan to write quality content on a particular topic, and for that I need to build a website. I’m thinking of buying a domain from Porkbun, hosting it on Hostinger, and using WordPress as the CMS. Is this a good idea? Do I need to keep something in mind or do something differently? Also, for independent blog/content website owners, were you ever able to generate revenue b”
Could you share css for highlighted text, or is that wikilink?
“Bootstrap css and JS is a very good starting point and using Tailwind and other css libraries is a bit overkill.”
“In 2003 I was making Flash animations for Newsgrounds. Someone saw them and asked if I could make banners for his website. That's how I fell into websites, then ads, then SEO. That was 2009 and I never left. The SERP became my scoreboard. It's a real-life game and the credits are dollars. Affiliate, dropshipping, ecommerce, igaming, food retail - you name it, I've done it. And every single time, the same wall: backlinks. That market is disgusting. Snakes. $70-450 for one placement an”
“Are classes first-class citizens on PHP? Or do you still need to wrap them in strings to make them "dynamic" and pass them around?”

“Stencil.js is a great library of components and because it's platform agnostic using web components, they can be fit into any ecosystem... React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, or no framework just plain JS, with relatively little additional tooling. I think your architect has made a well informed choice. If you are creating design systems that will be consumed by teams where you can't control their stack, basing it off of as much browser-native technology as possible with little framework lock-i”
“This is kind of a followup to my previous post in which i asked if i should use wordpress or react for a medical research group website. The website is very simple with just a few informative pages like a "our Team" page and a "publications" page etc. The only complex part would maybe be implementing an automatic publications updater (api call to look for new publications and add them). I got a lot of very nice responses and am currently researching a lot on the topic of what”
“i use both, and honestly it comes down to static content vs stateful app, not vanilla vs react. my marketing and landing pages are plain html/css/js dropped into the cms. over a year in and they've needed basically zero maintenance, nothing to update, nothing breaks. for that kind of thing a framework is just weight you carry for no reason. but the actual app ui i work on (a browser extension) is react, because once you have state that has to update the ui in a bunch of places, doing it by h”
“Templating assumes needing to pull data from elsewhere - from their description, that doesn't seem to be the case. And depending on what the data is, JS could handle it. As soon as there's a db involved or multiple users making changes, WP could be appropriate.”
“Hi, a buddy is a solo architect and wants to make a better site with a customer portal to view their docs and drawings instead of Google drive like he does now. He's been using replit (I hate vibe coding) which I advised against if he'll have customer information/login. I was suggesting a WordPress with a customer portal type deal. He does want an app (which I'll prob advise against in favor of a clean mobile view). Any advice on what I should push him towards? Maybe replit is fine f”

“Yep, the best author sites I’ve seen are basically glorified brochures with great loading times and zero drama.”
“Yep, this is the sane path: boring static site first, fancy platform later only if it actually earns its keep.”
“Definitely an upgrade, but it didn't have to be all text beforehand did it? Images would do just fine wouldn't they?”
“I want to build a site that has a community aspect to it (remember WordPress back in the day used to have comment sections?), but it seems like people have given up on having users contribute content. Unless you have an army of mods and admins (like Reddit) or advanced algorithms to filter out spam and toxicity (like Facebook or YouTube), it seems impossible. I've seen some enterprise content moderation (like Hive), but is there anything for small sites where a $30/month API can filter out c”

“It’s just what you said it is. It’s art. Not every website needs to have the sole purpose of transporting raw information to your brain. Sometimes a website can be an experience.”
“It may look nice on a video or a presentation but when you go to actual website UX is just terrible. I am aware many of those websites are literally works of art made by talented people and I don't want to discredit their effort but that's the reality. submitted by /u/amelix34 [link] [comments]”
“look for someone who specializes in squarespace specifically (not just general web design) and ask to see 2-3 live sites they've built on it. at my agency we see a lot of half-finished squarespace projects because the person hired didn't know the platform well enough. make sure they understand your business goals, not just how to make it look nice.”
“That's a great project! I really like DokuWiki and Zim . I also concur with the TiddlyWiki suggestion. I think DokuWiki might be the easiest to set up for a beginner, even though Zim is really easy to make a website of. You can use something like YUNoHost to set everything up for you. And you can always install both and try them out for a while before making a final decision. Either way, I also get overwhelmed easily and have no budget, so I sympathise. If you're just starting out, Yunoh”
thank you! good to know, maybe I should try laravel for my next project 🤔
“If the site tends towards static I choose Astro, if it tends towards reactivity I choose Vue or Svelte. Astro Islands for the sites in-between :)”
“Hello everyone! Recently, I been noticing that almost all interactive websites nowadays are built with ReactJS and TypeScript. Although I like ReactJS myself, I also noticed that many claim that React require constant maintenance, and provide a worse user experience too, due to being bloated and heavy as a result of using multiple packages. However, in 2026, do you think you can still build interesting React websites, but purely with HTML, CSS and JavaScript? And do you think it is a good idea?”
“Give it a few definitive rules (the rest, I struggle with): The one that has really really helped me for coding "ensure the page load time is always 3 seconds or less". It checks this every time and has helped catch many many many bugs.”

“Depending on how you use the system, they can be created in some specific places, or depending on the templating plugin you use, they could be moved automatically by the template itself. Just some extra options.”
“Hi guys, i work in a research Lab and am one of the all-rounder IT guys. I do a lot of data science stuff but also any tasks that pop up. My newest task is to create a website for our research group and I am not quite sure what tool to use for that. The website is mainly informational with pictures and description of our team, the general goal and previous and future works. No real user interaction like login or even a lot of buttons lol. Maybe a contact form but thats it. Would you guys just us”
