About this thread
A useful trial needs more than an attractive homepage. Use these guides to define the reader’s task, inspect the exported files, and budget the images and scripts that reach the browser. Keep the same representative pages for future comparisons so tool changes can be assessed consistently. Begin with the Page Static Website Builder guide for an introduction.
