Thoughts or recommendations for a static site generator?

[Rikmeister]

Hi everyone,

I want to make my first foray into usins a static website generator. I'm comfortable with coding and website creation from back in the day, so don't mind that a lot of it will be new to me.

I've had a look on Jamstack https://jamstack.org/generators/ and I think sticking to one of the big, highly-rated, well supported generators would be a good idea (at least as an introduction to Jamstack), so I'm considering Hugh, Gatsby and Jekyll, maybe Next.js too.

Would appreciate thoughts on the above (Hugh, Gatsby, Jekyll and Next.js), or any other suggestions.

N.B. there's no particular project or other limitations (like timescale).

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your suggestion ChroniC. I hadn't heard of Strapi before, I'll certainly put Strapi + GraphlQl plugin on the short list if I'm looking for a CMS in future.

For now I've decided to go with the Svelte framework and Sveltekit builder https://kit.svelte.dev/

My intention was to go with one of the big well established generators but Svelte looks like it has everything I need, has a reasonable learning curve, and is growing fast.
