Classic Website
The Classic Website starter, ~glitch-hello-website is your template for creating a static website that includes an index.html page and static HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Just start typing and your work will be live on the internet! Static websites enjoy unlimited uptime too! This means that your website stays on 24/7 without using your Project Hours.
An existing project will be identified by Glitch as a static site if it does not contain one of the following files:
- package.json
- requirements.txt
- glitch.json
Node.js
If you are looking to build a full-stack JavaScript application, choose the Node.js starter, ~glitch-hello-node. This template includes both front-end and back-end code using the popular Express Node.js application framework.
React Static Site Generator
Our React Static Site Generator starter, ~glitch-hello-react lets you use the React JavaScript library to incorporate dynamic elements into an otherwise static website. The advantages of using a React static site generator include:
- Having the power to create dynamic websites that are served more quickly to the end user.
- Having the ability to easily edit and rebuild a website when you want to update it.

Eleventy Static Site Generator
Our Eleventy (or 11ty for short) starter, ~glitch-hello-eleventy is a static site generator based on JavaScript. Because you can use it with several template languages including Markdown, HTML and Nunjucks, it is a simple way to start creating a basic website - like a blog, while having the option to run more advanced configurations if you’re feeling fancy!

SQlite Database
This SQlite Database starter, ~glitch-hello-sqlite includes a Node.js server script that uses a persistent SQLite database. The app also includes a front-end with two web pages that connect to the database using the server API.
