Sorry to bother you both. I am working with a non-profit that is looking to build a simple mobile-optimized web app to help marginalized women with reproductive health resources.
What is the best platform to build it on? Thanks

I'm by no means a web dev expert, but from my experience it largely depends on what you need. If you just need static content, build it in Gatsby (or maybe even something like Squarespace or Wordpress for something less code heavy), but if you are doing something with more...

dynamic functionality, I would look at using React for the frontend, and a Node + Express + Apollo Graphql server on the backend. That's what I'm doing for another project.

Thank you for responding.
It has to be a dynamic web app where they answer questions. Hoping to have a button to call or text a healthcare provider if there is an emergency.

If you’re not a developer I’d highly suggest going with a more non technical platform like Wordpress, square space, or web flow. Hard to say without knowing the situation and exact features you need though.

No, I am not a developer. I am helping with finance and operations.
Again it is not a website but a web app like this bc.thrive.health/covid19/en

That one looks like it uses React, but Maggie is right that if you aren't a coder and can't get one, you probably need to find an alternate solution. I don't know of any good no-code solutions for this type of app though. May need to consider an alternate (more static) solution

We are planning to hire a coder. But I wanted to understand and ensure they use the best-in-class language and platform to build it.

Ah ok, yeah in that case probably the React + Node stack I described above would be a good way to go. Lots of apps use something along those lines.

Seconded - any React/Node/Apollo graphQL stack is best in class right now.
Great frameworks would be use would be Gatsby our Next.js - east to connect to contentful or wordpress CMS.
