@cmccullough @joomla Okay, so I'm a former Joomla fanboy (dev team, security team) and still have a great affinity for the project, but if you want to go for a static site then there are some generators like Jigsaw that will do MD to HTML. The only drawback there is you often need to re-upload a big chunk of the site when you make updates. My documentations sites run like that.

Robert KingettWeirdWriter@caneandable.socialJul 3, 2026, 7:45 PM@cmccullough @joomla I'd recommend https://bearblog.dev/ because it's basically a hosted SSG place. Great community too!

@WeirdWriter Oh, I agree about BearBlog (I'm on there) but the site she is building is for her small business.

@cmccullough @joomla Gotcha, like does she need to sell things? Like, does she *need* a dynamic website? Like what does she sell? But I am about to try to find out if that Jumbla place has any LLM features on / in it
- Chad McCulloughcmccullough@polymaths.socialJul 3, 2026, 8:02 PM
@WeirdWriter She is definitely wanting a dynamic site.
@joomla - Robert KingettWeirdWriter@caneandable.socialJul 3, 2026, 8:51 PM
So I did some digging for you, and from what I can find, every LLM thing is an extension, not baked into the original editor, but I'd dig a little deeper before suggesting it but the extensions are like https://plugins.miniorange.com/joomla-ai-assistant @cmccullough @joomla

passthejoepassthejoe@snac.bsd.cafeJul 3, 2026, 11:11 PM@RootMoose@bsd.cafe @cmccullough@polymaths.social @joomla@joomla.social Was going to suggest a WP fork. This looks very good.

Depends on what she needs.
Does she need an online-shop?
Or just a business website?
If no shop is needed, maybe Publii would work for her, or Typemill?
HRH ginsterbuschginsterbusch@kosmos.socialJul 3, 2026, 9:22 PM@cmccullough @joomla Try ClassicPress. no all-in on Aislop, and also actual community effort.
