Start from existing

Workers Sites require Wrangler — make sure to be on the latest version.

To deploy a pre-existing static site project, you’ll need to start with a pre-generated site. Workers Sites works well with all static site generators! For a quick-start, check out the following projects:

Hugo
Gatsby, requires Node
Jekyll, requires Ruby
Eleventy, requires Node
WordPress (see our tutorial on deploying static WordPress sites with Workers)

Once you have a site generated, follow these steps:

Run this Wrangler command in the root of your project’s directory:
```
$ wrangler init --site my-static-site
```
This command creates a few things: wrangler.toml and a workers-site directory.
Add your site’s build directory to the wrangler.toml:
```
[site]bucket = "./public" # <-- Add your build directory name here!entry-point = "workers-site"
```
The default directories for the most popular static site generators are listed below:
- Hugo: public
- Gatsby: public
- Jekyll: _site
- Eleventy: _site
Add your account_id to your wrangler.toml. You can find your account_id on the right sidebar of the Workers or Overview Dashboard. Note: You may need to scroll down! For more details on finding your account_id visit Getting started.
You can preview your site by running:
```
$ wrangler preview --watch
```
Decide where you’d like to publish your site to: a workers.dev subdomain or your personal domain registered with Cloudflare.
Then, update your wrangler.toml:
Personal Domain: Add your zone_id and a route.
```
zone_id = "42ef.."route = "example.com/*"
```
workers.dev: Set workers_dev to true. This is the default.

Run:
```
$ wrangler publish
```
