Hello Netlify Community!
I need some help debugging a deploy for a static site with just a few html files and a css stylesheet.
Basically, I followed the handy guide to continuous deployment step-by-step (even created a project folder named ‘project’ with all of the html/css for my very simple static webpage I want to deploy) and yet…the deploy still failed. I don’t have a build tool like Jekyll for the site, just the html/css. From what I gleaned from your website it seems like I should be using the following settings:
Base directory: project
Build command: npm run build
Publish directory: project/_site (note that the article I read to put these settings on specified no space after the root directory but in my Netlify Build & Deploy settings it automatically added a space after like this: project/ _site
I thought this would be a rather simple deploy as there aren’t that many files or complex logic associated with it. I am new to web developement and am just stumped as to what to do next. This is the error message I get on deployment.

From what I read about the error message it seems like the npm (I don’t really know what this is) build command couldn’t find a package.json file that it looks like it needs to build the site. Are these files needed for even simple static sites with just html/css. If so, what do I put in it?
Thank you guys in advance for the help.
