Who Netlify is best for
Teams and solo operators who want to publish static sites, microsites, proposal pages or AI-generated pages quickly and cheaply, often by connecting a Git repository or dragging in a folder. It suits sites built with code or AI tools rather than a visual builder like Wix.
Key features
- Fast global hosting
- Instant deploys and previews
- Built-in forms and functions
- Custom domains and SSL
Why it’s worth it
It makes publishing a microsite, proposal page or resource hub quick and cheap. Pages load fast anywhere, which helps both visitors and search engines.
Things to consider
- There is no visual page editor, so content changes usually mean editing code or using a separate CMS
- Plans use a credit-based model, so heavy traffic, builds or functions can push you to a higher tier
- Best suited to static and modern JavaScript sites rather than traditional PHP sites like self-hosted WordPress
