My blog
This site was created with Gatsby using a blog starter called Empress. If you like it, then give it a shot. The Empress blog starter allows you to create a fast, fully featured static blog that you can host on Amazon for almost nothing.
I am a huge advocate for frameworks that simplify the web, such as Gatsby, and I love trying new things.
