Static website generator


Topic: Static website generator

fschoning asked 5 years ago

Hello,

Is there a simple static website creator for mdbootstrap. The idea is to use the templates from mdbootstrap and create a simple multi page website. If I create the website manually, then each time a page is added, I gave to edit each and every page to change the navigation.

Surely there is a simple static website creation/generation tool out there that will work with mdbootstrap - I just can't find one.

Thanks for the help, Franz

We've made a snippet editor, which I think is what you're looking for: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/

Best regards

Hi Mikolaj,

Thanks for your answer but this is unfortunately NOT what I am looking for. I don't want to create snippets, I want to generate complete websites.

Let me explain again:

I have for example three full web pages, each with a common navigation bar, some content and a common footer. If I add a fourth page, then I have to copy the nav bar and the footer from an existing page and then go and edit the original three pages nav bar code to add the new page. If I make a small change to the footer, I need to go and edit each and every page to make the change.

Surely there is some simple tool out there to do this kind of static website generation. I looked at Bootstrap Studio which initially looked promising, but it turns out it is not at all simple to import MDBootstrap snippets into the tool (it is possible to import custom html, but this is then no longer easily editable).

Thanks for the help.

The best practise to develop websites is to use code editors such as Visual Studio Code. To avoid multiple code repeat you can share components between all pages. It's very easy in Vue framework which I strongly recommend in such cases.

Best regards
