There's certainly two main train of thought when it comes to building websites. One is for using CMSs because the content is easier to manage and end-users have no problem in using the GUI as well. The second is to keep things as simple as possible and use either static HTML website, or use a static site compiler to create a simple HTML website structure.

While the first has been done over and over again, only in recent years have developers started to pay more attention to the second one.

This is because of Google Search's accent on page speed and also because CMSs are getting bigger and slower.

Blacksmith implements a simple system that takes content saved as Markdown files and compiles them to basic HTML pages, easier to deploy and faster to deploy to end users.

While this might sound as a very basic tool, it is not. Blacksmith comes with lots of tweakable settings, customizable page layouts, support for blogging templates, metadata handlers, source code highlighting, and a simple and fast rendering procedure.

Blacksmith was built using tools like Plates, Marked, Vows, and Flatiron, and can be deployed anywhere a Node.js server installation can run from.

Requirements:

  • Node.js
