I know of four PHP
static site generators.
- Jigsaw: Laravel Blade templates. Source Code
- Couscous: Twig templates. Source Code
- Sculpin: Twig templates. Source Code
- Spress: Twig templates. Source Code
The key advantage is obvious: dynamicity “technically” comes for free. Feedback/debugging loops “can” be made instantaneous, and scaling to a large output is probably not too difficult.
One downside is that corporate minded developers and consumers online will think
you’re a noob for choosing PHP
.
