- Kpourdeilami 9y agoSince it is just 1 page, I think you should be able to just save the source with all the dependencies and then host it somewhere else afterwards
- ams6110 9y agowget will do that for you nicely, also. I've used it to make static archives of fairly complex Drupal-based sites, so a one-pager should be a breeze.
- jstanley 9y agoTemplates? If it's just one page, just download the HTML.
- sandGorgon 9y agoit may or may not be one page - however, that is a pretty fundamental question you ask about static site generators. Why use them, when you can use plain html ? Well, its because they come with nice features like componentized layouts and templates, optimized build (including minification of any js, etc) and most importantly content in markdown/yaml for easy editing.
- jstanley 9y agoFor me, the reason to use templates is so that the navigation, header, footer, etc. is internally-consistent without O(n) human effort.
