+# `generator-hello-world`
+
+This is a basic example of a `generator` in the static Application Design Approach. A `generator` (static site generator) processes a `static.json` file and produces a static web page or dynamic web application.
+
+By referencing this `generator` in a `static.json` file and providing a `data.message` value, the `generator` will produce a static web page with the provided `data.message`.
+
+A template repository that references this generator can be found at: https://github.com/from-static/template-hello-world. 
+
+This template repository can be used to create custom distributions of the generator on GitHub Pages by only modifying the `data.message` value in the `static.json` file.
