I've built a software project and hosted it on Github. Now, I'd like to create an accompanying website (with some features like 'About Me', 'Documentation', 'Further Information', etc.). I also have some JavaScript content that should be located there. That's why I'm looking for an easy way to create and maintain a nice website (by the way, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04). I looked at Github pages, the themes are pretty beautiful there, but it just creates one page and no subpages. Nevertheless, I think Github would be a good host for my website in any case. But before diving deeper into plain HTML and adding further pages, I'd like to have some advice:
- What about Jekyll? Is it only convenient for blog posts? In my case I would just like to create a static website with several pages. Do you think that it'd be recommendable for me?
- What are the alternatives? I mean, is there any good recent tool that facilitates website development, produces beautiful, lean pages without previous knowledge?
I know that I can create pages in HTML and CSS with standard editors and I've done that before (years ago). However, I have absolutely no idea about current developments. That's why I'm looking for a modern way for creating accompanying websites for software projects.
