+title: About Render Engine
+slug: about
+---
+
+Render Engine is a static site generator inspired by modern web frameworks to show the speed and flexibility of static
+sites.
+
+The project was created by Jay Miller for their personal website. Its original design was fewer than 200 lines of 
+code. Jay continued to develop after failing to find a static site generator written purely in Python,
+technically simple enough for a beginner to contribute to, and actively being maintained.
+
+The foundation of Render Engine is that a website (`Site`) is made up of (`Pages`), some that are similar in nature (`Collection`).
