I am looking for a small-scale and easy way to present one or more polygon shapefiles online (on a municipal website without any existing map-server infrastructure, to be precise). Right now, I'm doing all work with QGIS, and I would prefer to stay all open-source (there is no budget left for any big software investments).

Researching this topic resulted in a overwhelming number of possible approaches, and left me quite confused. What I am looking for is

• being able to show categorized polygons in a thematic map (- if possible, it would be nice to get popups or to be able to retrieve attribute information - but that's highly optional)
• I would prefer to do most work (styling, etc) in QGIS
• OSM as base map would be perfectly fine

So far, custom map tiles on an OSM base map look like the thing I'm looking for (or is there a better solution)? What would be the best way to create these tiles?

Thank you all for your help!

Best regards!
