hello, I have looked into static site generators, and I recently asked someone about it and xplained your situation, and that you used drupal. The summary of his response is this: (enter)

Drupal was according to him the utterly lowest cms available, he litterally called it the drain sink of the market (wordpress was the best, altough he still called it shi*ty).

wordpress is also a CMS and also requires quite some setup to have custom things, this is where it's easier to go with SSG and if required also custom web components, e.g. created via lit-elements etc.

please explain the steps you did, and maybe create a pastebin of the errors, it would help to narrow down the problems
