      <p>Another reason I like static websites is that they're easy and quick to deploy.</p>

      <p>Whether you use write each HTML file by hand or <a href="/daily/2025/03/12/easy">use a static site generator</a>, a simple Web server like Caddy, Nginx or Apache can load and serve your website for everyone to see.</p>

      <p>My Sculpin website generates an output_prod directory after I run <code>sculpin generate</code> with my deployable files.</p>

      <p>I manage my own server with NixOS that hosts a number of static websites, such as examples from talks and blog posts.</p>

      <p>To upload my files onto the server, I just use rsync - a small command line tool to synchronise files between computers.</p>

      <p>It's a single command to upload the contents of my output_prod directory to the directory on my server.</p>

      <p>No complex CI pipelines or database migrations.</p>

      <p>It's fast, simple and minimal.</p>

      <p>If you prefer to use a service like Netlify or Vercel, they work great for static websites too.</p>
