Static websites are recently surging in popularity. Thanks to their very simple nature, they’re not only easier to create but also cheaper to host, more secure, and have better SEO out-of-the-box when compared to dynamic or client-side rendered websites. Thus, it’s only natural that we see more and more services, frameworks, and libraries dedicated to this sole purpose.

So, to not be left behind, I’ve recently created my own Static Site Generator (SSG) called Docking. It’s a very basic, but capable SSG based upon Node.js and Isotope - my own UI library.

In this tutorial, I’d like to walk you through the basics of creating a Docking-based static website of your own. Let’s begin!
