If I may piggyback on the recommendations: |

Pelican (powered by Python) is a very powerful static site generator, |
| 33 |
and deployment is basically whatever you want it to be. Pages are |
| 34 |
basically plaintext (markdown or asciidoc by default iirc) and the theme |
| 35 |
(template + CSS) is completely separate from the content. It supports |
| 36 |
translation with standard gettext, too. I use it to power my personal |
| 37 |
site. I write posts, commit and push remotely, and use a post-commit |
| 38 |
hook to rsync the generated HTML into the webroot. If that sounds cool, |
| 39 |
check it out. [1] It might meet your needs. |

If you must go PHP, you might want to take a look at the PHP-FIG[2] |
| 42 |
(Framework Interoperability Group). I can't say I'm 100% in favor of |
| 43 |
their decisions, but their work has led to some standardization in the |
| 44 |
PHP world and you might find more modern tools through them. |
| 45 |

| 46 |
Best of luck with your site, Peter! |
