+## Design Goals

+Zona is intended to be lightweight, easy-to-use, and ship with sane defaults while still providing flexibility and powerful customization options. This tool is intended for people that wish to maintain a simple blog or personal website, do not want to write HTML, and don't need any JavaScript or backend functionality. This makes it perfect for static site hosting like Neocities or GitHub Pages.
