simplitt

simplitt stores all your content in a single flat file.

simplitt generates a complete static site from your single data file: home page, category pages and single post pages.

simplitt needs no installation. Just set up some parameters and upload the files to your server.

simplitt makes all the work: just run a script and simplitt will recompile and update your entire site.

simplitt lets you customize your site by editing a few variables.

simplitt is free software. You can get the source code and use it, modify it and distribute it as its GPL licence allows.

So, this site itself is a good demo of simplitt, version 2.0.

simplitt generates a full site. That includes a home page, one page for each of your categories and a single page for each of your contents.

Yes, you can. Just put the image file in site/img/ folder and its name in the data file.

Download simplitt and upload all the files to your server.

Rename sptt-config-sample.php file to sptt-config.php and set up the variables inside. Then open .htaccess file and customize it for your domain, following the instruction inside.

Edit sptt-content.csv with your favorite text or spreadsheet editor to include your content.

Change recursively the permissions of site folder to allow simplitt to make your site: 777 will work.

Run sptt-makesite.php script to generate or update your site. Just visit it in your browser: http://yourdomain.com/sptt-makesite.php.

Alternatively, the best and most secure way to use simplitt is to compile and test it in your local machine.

You need to install a web server with php support: apache and php packages should be enough.

Upload just the content in site/ folder to your internet server and you will have a full static site in your internet server, dynamically generated in your localhost.

To compile in localhost is good because: you'll automatically get a local backup of your site; and you maximize the security of your server.
