How to build a website and host it in minutes

I've written a lot about how I built this website, but making websites has gotten even easier over time. A friend of mine came to me with a logo and asked, "I want to build a website for this junk hauling business. Can you make a website?" It literally just took this one prompt.

And it resulted in exactly what he needed.

This used to be the hard part. Now it's the easy part. Even the hard part is still pretty easy, let me show you how to host the actual website.

Hosting the Website with Cloudflare

Create a Cloudflare account, then go to Build > Compute> Workers & Pages > Create Application.

And that's it. You can see it right now at https://steep-waterfall-7509.matt-sayar.workers.dev/ 

But nobody wants to remember that URL

You're right! And Cloudflare will let you buy a domain right from the same page.

I'm not going to fork over $10 to show you what it looks like, but it's really that easy anymore. Cloudflare hosts static sites for free, so if that's all you need, you're in business.
