HackRVA website

This site is built with hugo. A static site generator written in Go.

Don't worry, it is very simple to work with. Most of the site can be modified in html and css. Hugo also has shortcodes which allows you to create more dynamic content in a modular way.

Goals for this site

• Make the site easy to maintain.
• Automate some posts from the meetup calendar (and possibly other sources) to help with some SEO.
• streamline the process so that prospective members know how to sign up and know where to find more information.
• Reduce the infrastructure required to run the site
