What is Ream?

Ream is a static site generator — that is, it makes it easy to write a bunch of stuff and then change your mind later about how it both looks and is structured. It also makes it easy for you to create a website that can be hosted anywhere; no need to do any web server configuration, learn or configure PHP/Ruby/Python, or worry about only being able to host your site at the root of a domain.

Ream is built around the core internet technologies: HTML and CSS. There's no need to learn any other document markup languages.

Whether you want to write a blog or just build a site from interconnected pages, Ream can do both (or a combination!) It even automatically generates an RSS feed to make it easy to syndicate your work.

This page is, of course, built with Ream.

Inspiration

Ream was inspired by a number of other projects (static site generators are nothing new), but the largest inspiration was Zonelets. Why? has a deeper interrogation into why I wrote this software which you may also find interesting.
