Design and Implementation
This site is built on the lab Jekyll theme originally developed by the Drummond Lab at the University of Chicago, which was in turn inspired by Trevor Bedford’s clean, elegant, and functional site. The Drummond Lab started with Jekyll Bootstrap and built out a lab theme that separates content and presentation, making it easy for other research groups (including ours) to reuse.
The site is deployed using GitHub Pages, which combines source-code control and hosting in a most pleasant way. Modify, test locally, push, and it’s live.
By using Sass for stylesheets, the site gets virtually all the advantages of using Less, while exploiting native Sass support in GitHub Pages. The site uses Google Fonts as well, primarily Open Sans.
The site’s source code is freely available on GitHub. All code is placed under the MIT license. You’re welcome to borrow / repurpose code to build your own site.
