The only thing I paid for is my domain

I use Local to create my site locally (even without internet), then I export with Simply Static plugin and finally I sync to my github repository where my website is hosted using Github Desktop for example.

Instructions

1. Install Local, create site, install Simply Static plugin
2. Create repository on github which will be the site
3. Create CNAME file (no extension) with only one line with your own domain and put it in the repository
4. Configure it to be GitHub Pages, set up your own domain
5. Create DNS record
   • Type: CNAME
   • Name: www
   • Value: YOUR-USER.github.io (for example, Chugeno.github.io)
   • —-
   • Proxy: Disabled (must be “DNS only”)
   • Type: CNAME
   • Name:@
   • Value: YOUR-USER.github.io (e.g. Chugeno.github.io)
   • Proxy: Disabled (must be “DNS only”)
6. Clone repository to a current folder
7. Configure SimplyStatic
   • Absolute URL “yourdomain.com
   • Additional Files and Directories (your Local directory)
     • ~/public/wp-content/uploads
     • ~/public/wp-content
   • Deploy
     • Local Directory
       • The path of your local folder of the cloned repository
8. Export the site
9. sync and commit with git

Enjoy your published website
