Write it in PHP. Ship it as HTML.

phossil is a small PHP site kit designed to deploy static html files and assets. You get routes, typed views and components while you build, and a folder of static files when you deploy.

Why phossil

Some websites can be a handful of pages with nothing happening on the server. You still want a real language to build them in: components with typed options, views you can refactor, and an IDE that flags a typo before your client does.

phossil keeps PHP for development and drops it for deployment. While you work, nginx hands every request to PHP. When you're done, composer build:zip requests every route, saves the HTML, and zips it with the CSS, JS and images. A client preview is then an upload to AWS Amplify or any static host, with no server to set up.
