Over four weeks, I sat with Nathan Wrigley from [WPBuilds](https://wpbuilds.com/) at a live stream event, where we showed everything needed to get up and running with Static WordPress.

## Learn Static WordPress

So if you are more into step-by-step instructions and want to learn all the ins and outs of Static WordPress with Simply Static, here are the recordings:

## Deployment with GitHub and Netlify

This video covers everything you need to know to get up and running with GitHub and Simply Static. We create a token, set up all the required deployment settings, run a static export to GitHub, and automatically deploy the result to Netlify.

You can also find the documentation [here](https://docs.simplystatic.com/article/41-deploy-to-netlify).

## How to use forms on your static website

This video covers setting up forms on your static website with Contact Form 7. We show you different services and tools and discuss common pitfalls when working with forms on your static WordPress website.

## How to use search on your static website

This video covers how search works on a static WordPress website. We use Simply Static’s Fuse.js integration to show you how search works without any external API and compare it with Algolia, which enables a powerful alternative.
