Let's Launch A Website, Right Friggin' Now!

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

A clear methodology for launching a site fast and cheap: build only HTML/CSS/JS with no back end, use Vue, Pug and Sass, compile with a GUI like Prepros to avoid a day of gulp/npm setup, and deploy to GitHub Pages with a $1.15 domain. Example shipped the same day from a hotel: a clicker game called futile.fun that includes achievements, Google Analytics tracking, and progressive play mechanics — fully working, zero hosting cost, often doable in a weekend.
