A modular static content and static site generator for creating websites, documentation, and ebooks.
Wyam is a static content and static site generator built on a modular architecture that allows developers to create websites, documentation, ebooks, and more. It solves the problem of rigid static site generation by providing a highly configurable pipeline system where modules can be chained together to process content flexibly.
Developers and technical content creators who need a customizable static site generator for projects like blogs, documentation sites, or ebooks, particularly those working in .NET ecosystems.
Developers choose Wyam for its extreme modularity and configurability, which allows them to build custom content pipelines beyond typical static site generators, and its integration as a .NET Core tool simplifies setup and usage.

Wyam's pipeline system allows chaining customizable modules, enabling unique content processing beyond typical static generators, as evidenced by its extensive module library.
Configuration through files and command-line arguments provides precise control over content generation, ideal for complex or custom workflows.
Recipes like Blog and themes like CleanBlog offer quick scaffolding for common project types, reducing initial setup time as shown in the README examples.
Installation as a global .NET tool simplifies setup and execution, seamlessly integrating into .NET development environments for easy workflow automation.
Wyam is no longer actively developed, having been rebranded to Statiq, which means no new features, bug fixes, or official support for ongoing issues.
The modular and configurable nature requires understanding pipeline concepts and module chaining, which can be overwhelming for users seeking simpler solutions.
With the shift to Statiq, the Wyam ecosystem has stagnated, leading to fewer third-party modules, themes, and community-driven updates or support.
