Pageboy – the world’s simplest static site generator

No command line, no extra syntax to master. Use the good ol’ HTML, CSS, and JS you already know to build your headers, footers, and partials — then bring it together with a simple tag and instantly see the output.

Just put this tag in your HTML wherever you want to include something: <include src="partial.html"> — the contents of partial.html are written into the parent file when compiled. This is super helpful for making consistent headers and footers across multiple pages, for example.

Pageboy includes a built-in webserver that points to your output folder, and it recompiles the site whenever there’s a change in your source folder. Just refresh to see the changes!
