I'm a backend developer with 5 years of experience. I've been tasked to create a simple website for a friend's startup. I'm very strong with the development and hld of things but I've never done independent deployment of an app or website end to end. What are my options here ? I'm aware of options like AWS, digital ocean etc. Should I even consider things like WordPress or the genz things like no code ? Do they give me enough control to do fun things or I'm always at their mercy? Since it's a pretty early stage thing.. infra cost is very much an issue. Thanks in advance
Static? Or app?
Static just deploy build to s3, cdn.
Otherwise use ec2?

Not exactly static.
Will need basic crud operations.
So at least a db is required along with a backend and frontend.
How is AWS free tier ? Do I need to give them my credit card details ?
Is it possible that if I'm not cautious I may wake up someday to see my card account ALL IN RED ?
Add a billing limit. Alerts.
Use Azure VM (Iaas)or App services(PaaS)
For static or react apps, netlify or cloudflare pages are the best. If you have a backend, you can try hosting and running it on cloudflare workers. Which is similar to lambda. You can also just host it on AWS lambdas. Or try vercel if you are hosting a next app, vercel is a good option.
A lot of these are free or free to start. So comes down to the kind of load you are expecting but all are scalable approaches.
You can try via wordpress dot org too. You can use the free themes provided and edit them a bit. That will need very minimal coding. I run one such website, but it is more of news website kind. Depending upon what your requirement is, you can take a call
