Is there any sort of interactive static site generator, for people who are not very computer literate to use?

(I write code, so it's not for me, but I am wondering if I could say, setup a template for a friend, and have them fill in the content of the pages.)



Funny you should ask. I'm building one right now. It'll be available next month. Basically it's what you'd expect from a SSG from a code standpoint, but deploys with a live CMS so that non-literate users can edit it.

Details here. http://www.webhook.com/


Looking forward to seeing webhook in action (I backed it). Will there be an open source component (perhaps the way Harp works), or entirely your service? Either way, it looks fantastic!


yes, this is a needed. I've wanted to point Normal People at a static site generator many times but there aren't any.


Docpad apparently has a wysiwyg interface.

Almost very moderately popular ssg has some sort of cms interface plugin.


Wordpress + your choice of page cache plugin. It's effectively the same thing.
