{% block abstract %}
[Sculpin](http://sculpin.io) is a static site generator written in PHP. It converts Markdown files, Twig templates and standard HTML into a static HTML site that can be easily deployed.

This talk will cover a little of the background to Sculpin and what it is, and then will move into some demonstrations of how to build a Sculpin site and what it can do!

You can [view the full slides](/slides/phpsw/building-static-websites-with-sculpin/), including the embedded videos.
