      <p>Over the last few days, I've written a few emails about static websites and static site generators before I <a href="/presentations/sculpin">speak about Sculpin</a> at PHP Thames Valley.</p>

      <p>They are <a href="/daily/2025/03/12/easy">easy to build</a> and deploy and <a href="/daily/2025/03/13/deploy">cheap to host</a>.</p>

      <p>As a PHP Developer, I use Sculpin as it uses Symfony components, is extendable by writing my own PHP code and uses Twig for templating.</p>

      <p>As a Drupal Developer, I like the power of Drupal's out of the box functionality and additional modules like Pathauto and Redirect, but I'd like to deploy it as a static website for it to be faster and more secure.</p>

      <p>Enter Tome, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/tome">a Drupal module to create static websites</a>.</p>

      <p>You build the website the same as you would locally and export the content and files to a static website - the same you would generate with a static site generator like Sculpin or writing the files by hand.</p>

      <p>Sam Mortenson (the creator of Tome) and I discussed it on <a href="/podcast/19-sam-mortenson">episode 19 of the Beyond Blocks podcast</a>.</p>

      <p>So, if you like Drupal and the benefits of static sites, Tome may be a good solution for you.</p>
