Using Django to generate static websites

[mor...@nidelven-it.no]

Hi.

I'm looking into static site generators written in Python, and django was suggested.

Is there a way to generate a website with 5 pages, which has a good base design, is accessible, responsive and doesn't bog down the browser on a low-end smartphone? Without much work.

I also posted about this on the main Python mailing list, here:

How static? Sounds like you want to simply generate html and css and
perhaps insert some content and imagery.  Django is for dynamic websites
which require a database and which respond to user interaction and which
can scale to heavy duty.

Maybe a CMS? There are a few of those based on Django. See here ...
