A static site generator for small web based store front for a brick and mortar store. It uses a local data store: FOSS This software is intended to fill the gap between a "full" frontend/backend solution and a simple static front end site in that it employs local data stores to create a static website that can be easily updated by the store owner. Features: - A python script run by the user that accesses a local CSV data store and builds a static html page. This greatly reduces complexity while still giving the user the ability to modify the data. - It is run by executing a python script from the command line. - After the initial html file is built, the user will use the hosting provider's website to upload the html file to the hosting server. - The script is simple enough that an beginning/intermediate python/html dev can update the script, data store and resulting index.html file without additional research or support. Using this software should be within ability range of a superuser. - This software and its output is written as simply as possible to allow for customization as needed. + It uses no additional frameworks, just native html/CSS. + It uses no libraries not included in standard python. + No JavaScript is used. The output is simple html/CSS. All the CSS is embedded in the html file to make it easier to manage the files. Only the resulting index.html file needs to be uploaded to the hosting server. + It uses common spreadsheet software to manage the data for both the Store Information and the products to be listed. - This software is Free and Open Source Software(FOSS) and can be edited by the user or their agent. Suitability: This software is suitable to the small store owner that is looking to move into online sales/marketing, but doesn't want to commit to a large development project or ongoing costs. It can be advertised using a QR code linking to the hosting provider. This eliminates the need for a domain name. Possible Uses: - Small brick and mortar stores - SwapMeet vendors - Yard sales |
