Advanced Front End | React (PP5) : Static Site creation

These steps will create a new Static Site to host the deployed project and connect to a repository.

Unlike other projects you have deployed to Render, a React project does not require a full stack web service. Instead we will build a “Static Site” with Render. Connecting it to a repository on GitHub allows the repo to be built and deployed on Render’s hosting platform.

Follow along with our migration guide as follows.

This process assumes you have already connected a GitHub account to Render.com. If this is not the case, follow these steps.

Process

  1. Navigate to Render.com and log in

  2. Click “New +”

    Note that this is a Static Site and is not a Web Service.
