Servant is a simple PHP framework that works based on a simple, automated model, allowing developers to quickly write and deploy their applications.
The default Servant package works out of the box and doesn't require any complicated setup routine. Just unzip and move to a Web server. The default Servant app will run automatically and you can consult the documentation on how to modify and/or replace it.
This simplified process makes developing and writing new apps a less time consuming process, Servant covering basic needs like assets management, templating, LESS/SCSS automatic compilation, database access, menu creation, automatic sitemap generation, SEO friendly URLs, data caching, and so on.
You could call Servant a static site compiler/generator, since it uses the same concept, storing page content in local text files (raw text, Markdown, PHP, HTML, Textile), and using a template file to assemble the final page.
But it's a little bit more than that, coming with support for managing multiple sites at once, database support, and other features regularly not found in static site compilers.
