There are often of situations where the long term benefits of automating something isn't worth the up front cost.

Throwing together a small static website with a few pages, in my experience, is one of those situations.



But the up front cost of using something like Jekyll is about fifteen minutes of work. Plus you can find a lot of free templates online that make your basic site not look awful.


I know I've spent hours trying to get Ruby setup and figuring our why bundler install failed, so disagree with your "fifteen minutes" comment. Maybe in the best case scenario.
