Nanoc is a flexible static-site generator. It’s suitable for a wide variety of sites, including personal blogs, portfolios, and product websites.
A static-site generator, often abbreviated as SSG, is a tool that transforms content from one format, such as Markdown or AsciiDoc, into another format, usually HTML, and lays out pages so that the site’s look and feel is consistent across all pages. Static sites can be deployed to any web server.
Nanoc is free and open source software.
