[Neuroimaging] Nipy.org new website needs a complete remake

[vanessa sochat]

We can freeze the site into a static version for github pages:

https://pythonhosted.org/Frozen-Flask/

I have one function that takes the template name as a variable, so I'm
anticipating needing to write custom code to make sure those are generated
as well.

I'm sure there would be a way to review the rendered pages before
deploying. I don't know off the top of my head. I usually just try and
figure stuff out as I'm working on it!
