Simple yet powerful CMS with Jekyll
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Jekyll as a basic content management system framework for building basic, static, (and mostly freely hosted) websites. Generally the websites are either small prototypes, landing pages for new products or something new we're launching, or even as a basic blogging platform for one of our community driven technology sites. Jekyll helps you get up and running very quickly with a bare bones blog enabled site.
Pros
- Lightweight blogging framework
- Lots of support documentation
- Can host practically anywhere
Cons
- Complicated for non-technical users
- Can be difficult to enter in new content
- Implementing dynamic components can be challenging
Likelihood to Recommend
Jekyll is perfect for building MVP websites as a way to prototype new projects, products, or landing pages. It is also great for technically savvy individuals who want to start a personal blog or portfolio website without dealing with the security of a server or databases. It can be challenging to pick up, but is very effective when you need it.
