Test a website without VS Code
Preview a website without a development environment.
The problem
Not everyone wants VS Code, npm or a local server just to review a draft.
Simple explanation
A static website usually consists of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images. The index.html file is often the start page. If paths, images or stylesheets are missing, the preview may look incomplete even though individual content is still readable.

FAQ
What is an index.html?
It is usually the start file of a static website and is opened first by browsers or web servers.
Why do images not load locally?
Often the image file is missing from the folder or the path in the HTML file points somewhere else.
When do you not need a backend?
For informational sites, landing pages, simple restaurant sites or static exports, a static website is often enough.
