Not sure what "easiest" means for each person. Not sure if useful to list here — but I have created the following websites using GitHub pages: http://redistrict.science , http://bradlove.org , http://oliviaguest.com , http://neuroplausible.com .

github pages worked great for me: knew enough html/css to hack something together, but not enough web stuff to deal with self-hosting

(and by "knew" I mean "figured very basic things out barely well enough as I went along")

I can do both and have dealt with self-hosted sites, I just prefer github because it's so robust.

There are cases where GH pages won't cut it (e.g., if you need a DB with server-side php or strong password protection) but for pretty much everything else there's a github pages workaround.

That being said though...There is an imperfect workaround for what I said can't be done too! Webform to email/spreadsheed: https://github.com/dwyl/html-form-send-email-via-google-script-without-server … And basic but not perfect password:https://github.com/matteobrusa/Password-protection-for-static-pages …

Both of those workarounds were/are used on http://redistrict.science .

For the password protection you have to change the robots.txt to accomplish it. And for the webform to google sheet I removed the bit where it automatically emails you because that is annoying. All these mods can be seen here at this repo:https://github.com/oliviaguest/redistrict.science …
