Static Site Generator

PHP Static Site Generator

Sculpin is a static site generator written in PHP. It converts Markdown files, Twig templates and standard HTML into a static HTML site that can be easily deployed.

Why Sculpin?

PHP static site generator. Fast and easy to get started. If your language of choice is PHP, you'll feel right at home if you need to extend Sculpin.

Composer-based installation. Forget about managing library versions manually! Sculpin installs using Composer to give you extra flexibility with any project you're building.

Coming Soon (Summer 2026):
Easy Installation! No Composer or PHP knowledge required!

Twig templates. Twig is a full-featured modern template engine. It's approachable to learn and it is extensible, documented, concise and flexible.
