Freezed is a static site generator written in PHP and built around the TYPO3 Fluid template engine.
It takes content and one or more themes and compiles them into a directory containing ordinary HTML and assets, leaving no application runtime or database on the deployed site. Its structure will feel familiar to developers who already work with Fluid: layouts, partials, sections and ViewHelpers are used to compose pages, while site content is represented by folders and templates. Freezed separates source content, themes, copied static files and generated output into distinct directories, making the build process straightforward to inspect and version-control.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Uses TYPO3 Fluid for layouts, partials, sections and ViewHelpers.
- Supports stackable themes that can layer and override each other.
- Represents each page as a content folder containing a template and PHP variables.
- Provides an asset pipeline for CSS, JavaScript and images through its resource ViewHelper.
- Resolves internal content references to page URLs at build time with a dedicated link ViewHelper.
- Can generate an XML sitemap from site pages, including per-page modification metadata.
- Copies files placed in the static directory directly into the generated site.
- Supports shell commands that run before and after a build.
- Provides configurable content types and default variables.
- Allows custom ViewHelpers to extend template behaviour.
- Exposes command-line build options to templates as build variables.
- Generates a plain public directory that can be hosted on any static web server or CDN.
