ezcv is a purpose-built static site generator for creating personal resume/portfolio/cv sites. It offers built-in themes, flexible templating with Jinja2, customizable configuration files and sections, and a simple markdown syntax for content building.

It is a great choice for those who prefer the built-in themes, want a free and open-source static site generator, are familiar with markdown and yaml, and want a system that can be extended.

However, it may not be suitable for those who need a widely used industry solution, require low-level access to the API for complicated extensions, or are not familiar with markdown, yaml, and Jinja.

Why should I use ezcv?

ezcv is a great choice if:

You are fond of one of the built in themes
You want a free and open source static site generator
If you want a simple to use static site generator based on Jinja
If you are familiar with markdown and yaml, and want a system that can be extended
You are not familiar with static site generators and want a simple one to try out
You want a static site generator with a built in github pages deploy pipeline

ezcv is not a great choice if:

You want a widely used industry solution (something like hugo or jekyl would be better for this)
You need low level access to the API for complicated extensions that are not possible within jinja
You are not familiar with markdown, yaml and jinja and want a frontend to edit your site with ( netlify, squarespace or wix would be better for this)

Who is ezcv for?

People who are not necessarily familiar with coding, let alone web development
People who are familiar with web development and want a very simple to use static site generator
People who are familiar with web development but don't want to bother writing pure html for their site
