[HLUG] question during wednesday's lug meeting answered ..

Hi

Why do you say 'If I were
starting a website from scratch today (which I wouldn't)' does this imply
you would use a different tool? or that you would just get a third party to
do it instead? If it's a different tool what would you use? There are
lighter site applications like Ghost these days and node.Js.
