Crate is a static site generator designed for visual artists, designers, and illustrators who need a straightforward way to build and manage a portfolio website. It is built for creators who prefer a simple, file-based workflow over complex content management systems.

• File-Based Content Management: Organize your projects by placing image files and Markdown documents into clearly named folders. The tool automatically generates the site structure and pages from these files.
• Fast, Static Output: It builds your entire site as a collection of static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. This results in very fast loading times and reduces security vulnerabilities associated with dynamic sites.
• Clean, Minimalist Themes: The included themes are designed to put visual work front and center, with layouts that prioritize images and project details without unnecessary clutter.
• Local Development Workflow: Write and preview your site changes on your local machine before deploying. This allows for quick iterations and offline work.
