Overview

What is NostalgiaPHP?

NostalgiaPHP is a lightweight site engine that treats your whole website like a folder.

• Portable → your entire site is just files; zip it, copy it, push it to GitHub.
• Zero-setup deploy → drop the folder onto a PHP server, and you’re live.
• Simple backups → copy the directory, done. Version control with GitHub is usually enough.
• Rapid prototyping → spin up an idea, deploy, and test in minutes.
• Design freedom → edit templates, CSS, and partials without a framework fighting you.
• Future-proof → if you move to WordPress, Next, or anything else later, you already have your Markdown, styles, and assets.

It’s for developers who want to ship real content websites fast without committing to a heavyweight CMS or framework.
