Emulate this simple site

Hi, I would like to emulate this site:

justicebuys .com/ (space deliberate )

I don't want an exact copy, just make it similar, in having 4 image links going across the page, and all the way down. It seems to have an endless scroll too.

I am certain this person is an Amazon Vine reviewer, and that they get a lot of free stuff. So as I am not in Vine, I can't emulate their whole biz model, but I love the simplicity of their website.

What would you suggest I use to build it?

I tried doing it in WP, but could not even get a full width page, despite using themes that say they have full width pages.

I tried tables, but could not add images.

And I tried columns, but could only add three at the most.

I would just use HTML if it was simple enough for a numpty like me to follow.

Thank you

    ChatGPT can write HTML code for this, but I think that
    is a template site and it looks really spammy so I would
    not recommend emulating it.

    Build a quality evergreen website with great content and
    promote your affiliate offers that way, or any number of
    other ways that would work better than this.

    A Linktree looking website is not the way to go.

    That looks more like a custom site when you view the page source. Nothing stands out that indicates if they used a CMS. Take a look at WooCommerce they have some themes that look close to the site listed in your post. Here is a link to their theme page. - https://woocommerce.com/product-cate...s=theme&page=1

    You could contact WooCommerce support to help you choose something close to the site you listed. https://woocommerce.com/development-services/ Hope that helps!

    This can be done via pure HTML or services like LinkTree (but with slightly extended capabilities).
    If you're just starting out and you're comfortable with HTML - go ahead and give it a try. But it would be convenient to switch to something self-hosted like WooCommerce or WordPress in the future.

    P.S. please note that HTML works well if it's an affiliate website. If you want to sell products, use Wordpress+woocommerce.

    Thanks I have now built this in WP.
    It's just a simple Amazon affiliate site for referring video traffic.

    But I will compare WooCommerce and Shopify for another proper ecommerce site I want.

      I am glad you found out what it was and that you are taking action.

      That is so important.

      Do yourself a favor and develop multiple websites (over time).

      Create this one AND the other one and more.

      WP hosting is dirt cheap these days which makes things really easy.

        also some webhosts have unlimited domains, which will help you if you are making multiple sites

    If you just want a clean grid of images with endless scroll, you don't need to overcomplicate it. There are a few routes you can take:

    WordPress + Elementor (Free version)

    Use the "Image Gallery" widget, set it to 4 columns, and enable "Infinite Scroll" in the gallery settings.

    Most Elementor-compatible themes will give you true full-width layouts -- just make sure you're using the Elementor Canvas or Elementor Full Width page template.

    Gutenberg + Block Patterns

    The default WordPress editor has a Gallery block that can handle multiple columns. You can set 4 columns and enable "Load More" for endless scroll using plugins like "Ajax Load More."

    Simple HTML + CSS Grid

    If you're comfortable pasting in code, a basic HTML page with a CSS grid layout can easily create the same look without a CMS. You could then add a simple JavaScript infinite scroll script.

    The key is picking the approach that matches your comfort level. If tech setup isn't your thing, it might be worth having a real human virtual assistant help with the initial build. I work with a service that offers a Free Forever plan, so you can get someone to handle the design tweaks and image uploads without worrying about trial limits or extra costs.

    Once it's set up, keeping it updated is pretty straightforward -- especially if all you're doing is uploading new product images.
