What is Website Design Team?

Website Design Team is a static website project for a Business Professionals of America (BPA) team, built with Jekyll and the Forty Jekyll theme. The repository description reads 'A BPA project,' and its topic tags include bpa, business, forty-jekyll-theme, ruby-gem, static-site, and html. The site is deployed on Netlify under the subdomain horizon-autos, with a deployment status badge linking to its deploy dashboard. It runs on Jekyll, a Ruby-based static site generator that outputs plain HTML, and the theme is packaged as a Ruby gem.

Key Features

• Jekyll static generator — Compiles Markdown and Liquid templates into static HTML, making the site fast and hostable anywhere.
• Forty Jekyll theme — Uses the Forty theme, identified in the topics as forty-jekyll-theme and forty-theme, giving the site a pre-designed layout.
• Netlify deployment — The badge points to https://app.netlify.com/sites/horizon-autos/deploys, confirming continuous deployment on Netlify.
• BPA project context — The repository is labeled as a BPA project, indicating it was created for Business Professionals of America activities.
• Ruby gem packaging — The theme is available as a Ruby gem, so it can be added to a Jekyll site's Gemfile.
• Static HTML output — The output is plain HTML, with no server-side dependencies after build.
