Using Drupal as a Static Site Generator.
Learn how to turn Drupal into a static site generator and host your static site for free on a variety of services like GitLab, GitHub, Cloudflare, or elsewhere.
Drupal is a great and powerful tool to build sites: powered by PHP, database driven, lots of little bits of javascript for interactivity.
However, sites with low interactivity (no member logins, no user-generated content, no form submissions) don't necessarily need to keep a full Drupal instance up and running all the time just for hosting.
Does your CMS really need to be using server resources full-time? Do you really need to be spending all this time and money maintaining and securing your hosting environment?
What if you could use the full power of Drupal to build and maintain your project, but generate a static site you can store and deploy anywhere?
But wait, there's more.
Call now and we'll throw in some views, forms, search, and auto-deployment.
That's right, for a static site. Has to be seen to be believed. Limited time offer. Conditions apply.
I divide my time between coordinating the technical side of Edulogos.be / Examencommissie.be, and training individuals and organisations such as the United Nations, European Commission, and CERN.
I started out in Leuven (recovering Deloitte analyst), and found my way to Paris (France), Saint-Louis (Senegal) and, as of 2015, Malaga (Spain).
For the past 15+ years my work life has revolved around Drupal. It has taken me around the world to conferences and client engagements, and I try to contribute back when I can, in the form of community organisation, documentation, and a little bit of code.
