Nancy

image picture by Silvia Polverini

Nancy is a simple web site builder, using just four simple commands to weave fragments of HTML, CSS, Javascript and whatever else you like into a web site. Using Nancy you can build pretty much any web site whose logical structure mirrors its URL layout, and which does not rely on dynamically computed content.

Nancy can either build a site as static HTML pages, useful for offline browsing and busy servers, or on-the-fly as a CGI script, useful for development and lower-traffic sites.

For building families of related web sites, mergetrees is useful.

Nancy is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 (or, at your option, any later version), and written in Perl.

I gave a talk about an early version of Nancy at the Lua Workshop 2006. (Back then it was written in Lua!)
