There is a lot of huge framework for big web projects, but there seems to be a need or a place for medium project. I've used Angular on some projects but it seems quite big complex and actually not needed for smaller sites. Ember.js is actually interesting even for smaller site, but still the complexity is a tad daunting.<p>I've used a mix of handlesbar.js and json for the content, but often feel limited and looking for some sort of small router, adding to that something like bootstrap, although heavy, creates a interesting minimal mix.<p>Is there something the wild that answer that need for smaller (few pages, gallery, contact form, maybe a minimal blog) type of site (and no not wordpress, lets keep it static)!

There's always static site generators, like Jekyll or Hugo. Set up a template in html, write content in markdown, run it all through Hugo or Jekyll and BAM! Static html and css.<p>If you don't have anything interactive on the site, you don't need any JS at all.
