+title: Static Site Generators
+description: My favourite way of building a website
+weight: 2
+---
+
+Static site generators let you write a template for the website in HTML and let you write the content of the website in another format (markdown, for example)
+and turn it into a HTML page with the given template.
+I love static site generators because they are easy to use and are very fast since all the HTML files are pre-compiled before you can host them on your server.
+It's better than writing the whole website in HTML because if you want to change the layout of the website, editing all the pages one-by-one would take a long time.
+Whereas in a static site generator, you can just edit the template file and it'll do the job automatically.
+
+For small websites/websites without much/any logic, I recommend using a static site generator. This website is written in Hugo, which is awesome.
