+  Static websites are the easiest way to build websites.

+
+Static websites are the easiest way to build websites.
+
+You create an index.html file, type some words, open the file in a browser and you'll see the words you entered.
+
+You built a website!
+
+Then you can create any more pages you need and style it with CSS.
+
+This how I built my first website, for a Tae Kwon-Do school I used to train at.
+
+This worked great, but at some point, becomes hard to scale.
+
+What if you want to add a new link to your navigation menu? You'd need to update each HTML page separately.
+
+At this point, I started to learn about PHP and MySQL, and then Drupal.
+
+Static site generators like Sculpin, Jekyll and Hugo also fix this problem.
+
+They allow you to write HTML files with a template language like Twig and use includes, loops and conditions to make your files easier to create and maintain with a language and tools you're familiar with.
+
+It still generates a static website with HTML files, but in a more maintainable way.
+
+As a PHP Developer, I like Sculpin but also like Tome to export a Drupal website to static HTML.
