Plugins

Jekyll Sass Converter

We are using the jekyll-sass-converter plugin (built-in) to write sass.

How to run

1. Make sure you have Jekyll installed
2. Clone repository locally
3. Run jekyll serve to start the local server. There is a --livereload option if you want the server to refresh the page automatically on filechange.
4. Run Jekyll build if you just want to generate the site. Generated static files can be found in the _site folder.

Forms

As the site is static we can't deal with forms here. At the moment the site is using Formspree to handle the submissions from Demo and Contact forms. Every submission is sent to email and Slack.
