This repository contains the source code and history of the NuMat Technologies website, all the way back to the very first version.
Note: This repository is current to August 1, 2018. Since then, NuMat's site has been maintained by a third party.
NuMat uses jekyll to build fast static sites from source files. To run a local copy of the site, copy the source files and use jekyll.
git clone https://github.com/numat/numat.github.io
cd numat.github.io
jekyll serve
Navigate to http://localhost:4000, and you're done.
NuMat uses features through jekyll to simplify the code base, and GitHub Pages for free high-speed hosting.
Wherever possible, the website separates content from design. For most pages,
the content can be found in the _data folder in human-readable
YAML (*.yml) files. These files
correspond to
liquid files
(*.liquid) in the root directory, which contain the HTML structure. In cases
where liquid / YAML is overkill, pages are written in simple
markdown (*.md). The
files in _layouts are used to avoid duplicate code between files by providing
base layouts.
Stylesheets are in _sass, and are broken up into multiple
sass (*.scss) files. The main.scss file combines
everything in _sass to be served in production.
We use open-source javascript libraries to improve user interaction. The most current list of libraries can be found in the source code.
