Simplest

Static site generator that builds a website from plain HTML files and one shared template, with a Browsersync dev server.

Simplest is a static site generator that builds pages from HTML files in a src folder, in any folder structure, using one shared template.html. The npx simplest build command writes the site to a build folder that can be uploaded to any host. The npx simplest command starts a Browsersync development server on the developer’s machine. A project is created with npm create simplest-sitegen.

Pug and Svelte files are optional alternatives to plain HTML.
