JekyllOrg

JekyllOrg is a Jekyll theme built for organizations and non-profits that generates a static website from Markdown content, with a setup guide for getting started.

What is JekyllOrg?

JekyllOrg is a Jekyll theme designed specifically for organizations and non-profits. It takes Markdown-based content and Liquid template files as input and produces a static HTML site with no database or server-side logic. The theme is distributed on GitHub, where its public repository currently has 11 stars, and it runs on any Jekyll installation, including GitHub Pages. A setup guide is available at damianeoloan.github.io/JekyllOrg/news/setup/ to walk through the initial setup process.

Key Features

• Static site output — Because it is a Jekyll theme, JekyllOrg generates pre-built HTML files that load quickly and need no backend.
• Organization and non-profit focus — The layout and page structure are tailored to organizational websites, covering announcements and standard information pages.
• News section — The setup guide is published under a /news/ path, indicating the theme includes a news or blog area for updates.
• GitHub Pages ready — The theme is compatible with GitHub Pages, allowing free hosting directly from a GitHub repository.
• Setup guide included — A step-by-step setup guide is published at damianeoloan.github.io/JekyllOrg/news/setup/.
• Open source — The repository is public, so anyone can inspect, fork, and customize the source code.

Who is it for?

• Non-profit staff — create an informative website to present the mission, programs, and news without needing a web developer.
• Organization webmasters — maintain a low-maintenance site by editing Markdown files instead of a content management system.
• Jekyll beginners — use the setup guide and compact codebase to learn how a Jekyll project is structured.
