Build simple websites fast.

Hoist is a tiny PHP class that makes it ridiculously easy to build small websites. How easy? Look at the code that powers this site:

$pages = array(
    array(  
        'url'       =>  '/',
        'title'     =>  'Hoist',
        'content'   =>  'pages/home.php',
        'groups'    =>  'nav',
        'nav_title' =>  'Overview',
        'headline'  =>  'Build simple websites fast.'
    ),
    array(
        'url'       =>  '/guide',
        'content'   =>  'pages/guide.php',
        'groups'    =>  'nav'
    ),
    array(
        'url'       =>  '/get_it',
        'content'   =>  'pages/get_it.php',
        'groups'    =>  'nav'
    )
);

require 'hoist.php';
$hoist = new hoist($pages);
$hoist->display();

Hoist minimizes the pain of setting up templates and nice URLs and lets you worry about the important stuff like content and layout.

Get the code on Github and consult the guide. You can have a site running with Hoist in minutes.
