I’d suggest Franklin.jl

my personal suggestions:

first step - quick results

- create a simple “static website” from a simple markdown files …
  - [https://franklinjl.org/](https://franklinjl.org/) ( Julia )
  - [https://jekyllrb.com/](https://jekyllrb.com/)
  - [https://gohugo.io/](https://gohugo.io/) ( GoLang based )
  - …

- The markdown files is so simple …
  - it can be generated by Julia or any other programming language.
    - this is my favorite trick … generate 100s of markdown files from data

- there are lot of ready-made website templates:
  - [https://tlienart.github.io/FranklinTemplates.jl/](https://tlienart.github.io/FranklinTemplates.jl/)
  - [https://jekyllthemes.io/](https://jekyllthemes.io/)
  - [https://themes.gohugo.io/](https://themes.gohugo.io/)
  - …

- you can host on [https://pages.github.com/](https://pages.github.com/) or with [https://www.netlify.com/](https://www.netlify.com/)

If you need some dynamic queries ( based on user input ) Then you have to start checking complex Julia frameworks :
