+
+Baking fresh websites & documents since 2006
+
+
+---main---
+
+**PieCrust** is a static website generator and flat-file CMS. No complex setup,
+databases, or administrative panels -- it's all text files. Simple, beautiful,
+and yummy.
+
+*[CMS]: Content Management System
+
+
+---simple---
+
+### Store in the cellar
+
+Because all your site's content and configuration is stored in simple text
+files, it fits nicely in a revision control system like Git or Mercurial. It's
+not only more practical, but also safer!
+
+
+---bake---
+
+### Serve on the counter
+
+Although it can run a flat-file CMS, **PieCrust** is designed as a static
+website generator. This means it can "bake" your website into simple HTML files
+that you can publish with a minimum of resources on your server. A sudden spike
+of visitors can't crash your MySQL database when you don't need one!
+
+
+---ingr---
+
+### Familiar ingredients
+
+**PieCrust** uses all the ingredients you already like, such as Markdown and
+Textile for formatting, or Jinja2 and Mustache for templating.
+
+
+---oven---
+
+### Fully functioning oven
+
+**PieCrust** comes out-of-the-box with an asset processing pipeline, capable of
+handling most of your files -- Less/Sass processing, CSS and JS
+minification, concatenation, and more.
+
+
+---cooks---
+
+### Several cooks in the kitchen
+
+If you're dealing with advanced scenarios, **PieCrust** will gladly interoperate
+with other tools like Grunt, Compass, Bower, and many more.
+
+
+---fast---
+
+### Super-fast service
+
+Because **PieCrust** is also designed as a lightweight (flat-file) CMS, it can
+render your pages in less than a few milliseconds in most cases. It means that
+previewing or generating your website is super fast!
+
+
+---carte---
+
+### A La Carte Content
+
+**PieCrust** comes with a powerful system of page sources, routes, and taxonomies.
+This means you can completely customize how you want to author your content, and
+how it gets exposed.
+
+
+---entrees---
+
+### Multiple entrées
+
+Your pages are not limited to one piece of content that you place in the center
+of your layout. You can define other “text segments” like a page-specific menu
+or sidebar text that you can insert in different places in the layout.
+
