Getting Started with Static Site Generators
Static site generators have revolutionized how developers approach web development. Instead of dealing with complex server architectures and databases, you can focus on what matters: creating great content.
Why Choose a Static Site Generator?
There are several compelling reasons to use a static site generator:
- Performance: Static HTML files load incredibly fast with zero server overhead
- Security: No dynamic database queries means fewer attack vectors
- Simplicity: Write in markdown, let the tool handle the rest
- Deployment: Deploy anywhere - GitHub Pages, Netlify, AWS S3, your own server
- Version Control: Your entire site lives in git
