Have you come across any static site generators that would be user-friendly enough to recommend to users currently stuck with iWeb, DreamWeaver, RapidWeaver and the like? I was recently trying to help somebody migrate away from using iWeb (abandoned by Apple), but found that trying to teach something like Hyde* was not a feasible alternative.
In my opinion a user-friendly static site generator would require some kind of minimal GUI, dialogs to handle inserting images, and a smart set of predefined options to generate menus, listings, etc. Maybe even a one-click option to update an S3-hosted site.
If this doesn't exist, perhaps writing a GUI wrapper for an existing generator would be a worthwhile project.
* The Python program, not the CHICKEN Scheme static site generator of the same name.
- stevekemp 13y agoI've not looked for such a thing, but as you suggest a wrapper rather than yet-another generator is probably the way to go. Perhaps even a CMS-like thing that could be done online entirely?
