Jekyll is an Open Source software written in Ruby which lets you create static websites without having to install a web server or a database. It is easy to install and perfect for building company blogs or stand alone websites.<\/span><\/p>\n You can build static websites with components such as tags, templates, partials, permalinks etc with Jekyll.<\/p>\n It’s important to note that Jekyll is not a blogging software and does not come with design elements or templates.<\/p>\n Jekyll is extremely effective and minimalistic.
