GitHub Pages is one of the cleanest ways to publish a static site. Put HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a repository, optionally run a build, and publish the result.

For many docs sites, personal sites, and project pages, that is exactly enough.

W7S is for the moment after "static is enough" stops being true:

• the docs site needs a search endpoint;
• the landing page needs a form handler;
• the project page needs a status API;
• the app needs a database, file bucket, queue, schedule, or backend route;
• branch previews need isolated runtime resources.

GitHub Pages is static hosting. W7S is repository-native app hosting.
