Static Site Generator

This project aims to provide a way for c# developers to benefit from very cheap/free hosting through static files, while allowing them to use familiar ASP.NET MVC concepts (Views, Partials, Layouts, etc). This also allows you to have an initial static site that you can then update to a dynamic website backed by ASP.NET Core without starting from scratch.

Since this project converts Views into HTML files, it is not possible (at least yet) to use Models.

Sample usage

SSG.NET has its own website that lists the different features here: https://www.staticsitegenerator.net/.

There is also a sample GitHub repository that shows how to use the tool for a Blog: https://github.com/CamiloTerevinto/StaticBlogTemplate.
