How it works basics

VuePress is amazing!

The website is a static site, based upon VuePress. Every time the site is updated we compile from the edited markdown files to raw HTML, CSS & JS. This means that the site loads fast as the server just has to serve the compiled files.

GitHub and Netlify

The CMS we use is Netlify CMS. Every time a file is edited and saved it commits it to this repository. When this happens Netlify (amazing company) receives a trigger and beings to execute the build script with the updated repository. When they are done this is sent out to their CDN free of charge, and this shows the updated website to the world.
