# Need a new single page site…? Let’s get that done Quickish

I always love Portland ideas that take that whole original ethos of the World Wide Web to make it more accessible. AS IT WAS INTENDED. Like [Neocities](https://siliconflorist.com/2015/04/22/longing-days-geocities-love-neocities/) recreating Geocities. Or any number of other quaint and [cozy](https://siliconflorist.com/2021/11/17/meet-skittish-a-new-online-event-platform-that-takes-a-quirky-approach/) and [engaging](https://siliconflorist.com/2025/09/18/have-you-tried-vibes-diy/) tools that Portland folks have build over the years. And now, there’s another one to add to the list: [Quickish](https://quickish.website/).

The web can be annoyingly difficult from time to time. You make a thing — a little HTML page, a one-off microsite, a thing about a thing — and then you smack straight into the part that has nothing to do with the thing you actually made… Where does this thing actually even live so that people can get to it?

Suddenly you’re knee-deep in build steps and hosting dashboards and DNS records and a server you’ll have to babysit forever, all to get a single page onto the internet.

Well not anymore. Now there’s Quickish.

Quickish gives any folder of HTML a live URL and skips every last bit of that — no build step, no server to run, no hosting to set up. Drop a folder, a .zip, or a single file, and it’s live in seconds with a clean URL.

That’s it. Bingo bango bongo.

I know it works because I just used it. (You see, Silicon Florist turns twenty in 2027 — August 7th, for those of you who like to mark a calendar a year and a half out — and I made a little countdown to mark the occasion. Inspired by the Demo Day countdown clock for PIE. But then I needed somewhere to put it. So I dropped the folder into Quickish and, well, there it is. Live. In roughly the time it took to write this sentence.)

   

And there’s more under the hood than a place to park static pages. There’s a CLI if you live in the terminal (`npm i -g quickish && quickish`), you can publish straight from ChatGPT or Claude, and if you want to get ambitious there’s a whole zero-config backend hiding back there. A lot actually. Like a document store, a SQL database, realtime updates, file uploads, even sign-in.

It’s free for one live page, or $7.99 a month if you want unlimited.

So if you’ve got a folder of HTML gathering dust because standing up an actual website always felt like more trouble than the thing was worth, this is the fix. [Go drop something in it](https://quickish.website/).
