  4. Bridgetown

    A next-generation progressive site generator & fullstack framework, powered by Ruby

    If I wanted to post a simple website today I would look into Jekyll. There are a ton of articles and answers to common questions etc. It itself is written in Ruby but using it will not likely help you to learn Ruby.

We use Bridgetown for our company site at Flagrant.
