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.

      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.

      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.

        Instead of drag and dropping you can open your HTML+CSS files and copypaste their contents.

    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.

    Hugo, though you didn’t list your “must-haves” so it may not be a great suggestion
