Here's my personal opinion: Org mode is great at concisely formatting content, so I format my blog content in Org. But then I leave it up to static site generator giants like Hugo to make the site look good. The kind of look you want on your website could be achieved by one of the themes: https://themes.gohugo.io/ Static site generators have tons of other benefits like putting the right meta data, easily creating RSS, ATOM feeds, integrating pre-generated search index, post-processing images, etc. before uploading to the server, minifying CSS, JS, HTML, etc. [ I am giving examples of using Hugo because that's what I use. You can pick any static site generator and a compatible theme. ] > Would be curious to know everyone's thoughts on this if there's a cool way to > do this via Org Mode :) I would focus on: 1. Content writing in Org mode 2. Rendering/prettifying the website using CSS, templating, etc in a static site generator. Of course you can do everything in Org mode and many people do it, but then you need to design CSS, JS, etc yourself. ( I am not a web designer, so I took the static site generator approach and started learning more about CSS and templating from available themes. ) Kaushal
