For Websites without Backend (Default for TechUp)

Creating a Static Site (For webapps without Backend)

This section is for users who do not intend to have a backend for their webapp. It will allow you to create a static site. This is the default mode for TechUp participants.

If you

1. Open Render Dashboard (https://dashboard.render.com) and click on New Static Site.

Click on New Static Site

2. Connect to your repository

Click on Connect

3. Set the publish directory to "." and click Create Static Site

Set publish directory to "." and click Create Static Site

Note that, at this step, you may be asked to enter your credit card details to verify your identity; without which, you cannot proceed.

We would recommend that you proceed to do so. For the programme, you should not be incurring any expenses from the use of Render, as we will be using the free plan by default. That said, should you be using a paid plan for improved functionality, you should also be able to claim for reimbursement, as each participant has been allocated a $100 budget for tooling purposes.

4. Congrats, your website should now start building and successfully deployed!

You website is now deployed!
