Deploying a html file website in heroku

I have build a small website using html, css, bootstrap and javascript files. The home page is index.html. I tried to deploy it to my heroku app (buildpack is nodejs), but everytime is says: App not compatible with buildpack. How can I upload my website there?

This is what it shows:

D:\Projects\herokudeploy>git push heroku master Counting objects: 572, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (477/477), done. Writing objects: 100% (572/572), 17.28 MiB |

    remote: Compressing source files... done.

The static buildpack you are using requires a static.json file to be runnable. That file needs to be at the root of your repository.

You should be able to set the content of that file to an empty hash, {}.
The buildpack readme on GitHub gives all the configuration you can set on that file for your static site.

When you set up a node application, Heroku will expect you to deploy a node app. Currently I dont think you can just throw in a bunch of HTML and CSS on Heroku and run it. You need a Python, NodeJS, Go etc server for your app to run on.
