Hi @Scout456 , you are welcome to the Netlify Support Forum. Sorry to hear you are having problems deploying.
Your website is deploying fine and you don’t need to set any build command since its a basic static HTML site.
The reason why your site is showing the Page Not Found is because there is no index.html file in the root of your project.

For basic HTML sites Netlify attempts to serve only index.html in case you try to load your site https://thetreelife.netlify.app

Based on your repository it seems tree.html is supposed to be your homepage. Kindly rename tree.html to index.html.
Also go through all the pages markup and change all links that point to tree.html to just a forward slash /
For example:

<a href="tree.html" class="horiz-nav-link">Home</a>

should now become:

<a href="/" class="horiz-nav-link">Home</a>

Another complex alternative will be to use redirects if you still want to maintain the filename as tree.html.
Kindly visit the link below to learn about how to configure redirects on Netlify if you want to maintain the filename as tree.html.

Hope this helps.
