Today we’re launching Static Revival, a resource to help developers build new static websites and apps. Static-revival.com is a directory of tools, plugins, static site generators, and news about the static web.
Why a static revival? I’ve said it before; you should be building static sites.
Dynamic websites have bloated the internet with lethargic, vulnerable content for too long. Why? Because building out simple sites on top of vulnerable database-driven architecture feels more convenient then just delivering simple, secure content.

The time of change is upon us. There is a growing movement to build data-base free sites and apps, and static CMS solutions (like BowTie) to make static both painless and liberating.
Looking for a place to start? I suggest you consider learning Jekyll or one of the hundreds of static site generators available, and check out the latest static web news. Then head over to the resource section to get a handle on all the static site tools and plugins you can start using right now.
