Thinking of using a static site generator to create a decent landing page + blog + user manual for my product. Love the simplicity of VuePress, but concerned about availability of plugins (e.g. contact forms). Anyone attempted landing pages with VuePress (or other SSGs)? PS: Please reply in the thread....

Try Gatsby, has most plugins and growing.

Vuepress doesn't have may themes yet (you can get premade themes and customize them as you please) ... Gatsby and Hugo are really good in that regard. By the way, for your blog's CMS try out forestry (better UI and easy to setup but it's freemium) or NetlifyCMS (Open source, a bit harder to set up). Have heard good things about Sanity.io but haven't tried it out personally. Happy hacking🙂

Haven't got a chance to work with VuePress but I've worked on Gatsby and Hugo. Both are great. If you just want a simple and powerful SSG, then HUGO is the one. It doesn't provide much out of the box, but you can add plugins as your needs. It also integrates with NetlifyCMS quite easily. Gatsby is fully react based. It can also be integrated with NetlifyCMS but personally I found that creating a blog with Gatsby has quite a learning curve (But anyways it varies from person to person).

VuePress seems a lot simpler (at the expense of extensibility) when compared to Hugo/Gatsby. Thanks everyone, have taken everyone's inputs into consideration.

I curated a bunch of themes some time back, hope it helps - https://www.notion.so/hdtycho/7d52e29214c94776a9a2078c79e085f3?v=afb960c62af4456ba0675322c5fb8b60

Hi @magnificent-solstice-42554 Here is something that might help you with the landing page for a product - https://cruip.com/ Looks like they recently added support for vue and react 🤩

You can also try Jekyll it's very simple as well also check nanoc it is in ruby

Gatsby is great! Build this using Gatsby: http://virajc.tech?r

Webflow? You can get landing page + blog + documentation + inbuilt contact forms.

I've been on jekyll for quite a while now. And oh, hugo is good too

@magnificent-solstice-42554 wanted to share my experience with static site with you. I had applied to get interns from internshala and they rejected my application since our website is a static site! Otherwise, I love static sites but ours is a DIY kind.

LOL, that's both hilarious and interesting. 😀
