I'm looking to get guidance on what tools / platforms to use for a new website. Structurally, the site is essentially a directory site with multiple directories. The directories are;
Recipes (although these also feel a little like blogs & could function as such)
Restaurants (a list of restaurants which each have bios / profiles)
Food suppliers (a list of food brands which each have bios / profiles)
Drinks suppliers (a list of drinks brands which each have bios / profiles)
I have absolutely no coding skills and next-to-no budget so ideally looking for something WYSIWYG or similar. I tried webflow, which looked suitable because of its focus on CMS / database architecture, but its interface was too complicated for me and the learning curve looked too steep.
While a bit limited, I have built a basic prototype in Airtable, which is structurally correct, but doesn't present as a public facing website. Is it possible to use Airtable for database architecture and then layer a web interface on top? It seems to have lots of plugins and APIs, but I don't know if anybody is realistically using this stack for real websites.
Note, I do not want to try and hack this thing together with AI website builders.
Any guidance is welcome. Happy to answer any questions.
