PieCrust is a static website generator and lightweight CMS that's all managed with text files. No complex setup, databases, or administrative panels. Simple, beautiful, and yummy.
For more information, along with the complete documentation, visit the official website.
If you want to quickly give it a spin:
pip install piecrust chef init mywebsite cd mywebsite chef serve
It should create a new empty site in a mywebsite
folder, and start a small
web server to preview it. You can then point your browser to localhost:8080
to see the default home page.
Use chef prepare page
and chef prepare post
to create pages and posts,
and edit those in your favorite text editor.
When you're happy, run chef bake
to generate the final static website,
which you'll find in _counter
. At this point you can upload the contents of
_counter
to your server.
