Want to have strong online presence without spending months coding up a website?
This project is a FREE, EASY and CUSTOMIZABLE webpage template, made to deploy within 10 minutes with NO CODING REQUIRED!
A webinar with walkthrough of this project is available here. The whole tutorial is available in video format here :
If you just want to use the template, no need to clone/download this repo. The following steps show how to launch your own website :
- Click the following button 👇 (Make sure you have a Github account before starting)
-
After clicking that button, you’ll authenticate with GitHub and choose a repository name. Netlify will then automatically create a repository in your GitHub account with a copy of the files from the template. Next, it will build and deploy the new site on Netlify, bringing you to the site dashboard when the build is complete.
-
The site should now be live at the URL shown to you by Netlify. Let's now change the content of the site to make it YOURS :) Firstly, upload all the photos you want to use in your website to imgur. Take a look at the demo to decide what photos you would like to use.
-
Now, open your github account and navigate to the cloned repository (a clone of this project) that Netlify made for you. Then go to
src > content > mycontent.json
-
Press the
Editbutoon on top-right of the file window. -
Edit the data present there according to your choice. You should be familiar with the JSON file format. If you're not, no big deal. Take a quick tutorial here.
- On imgur, right click on your photo and select
Copy Image Location. Paste these links in the fields which require URL of photos inmycontent.json - Array elements are rendered as seperate paragraphs for
Descriptionand*Contentfields. The links are also to be input as Array of JS objects. Explaination on this can be found here
-
When done with editing, check the
Commit directly to the master branchradio box, add a relevant commit message and click onCommit Changes -
All done! wait for 5 minutes, and visit the URL given to you by Netlify again to confirm changes.
-
Share this repo with people you think can benefit from this project 🙂
Note : Change the BackgroundURL value in mycontent.json to add a custom background (use imgur to host the background image). Leave it to "" to use the default circle-packing background. Explaination on this can be found here
- Your JSON syntax for
mycontent.jsonmight be faulty. Validate it using this tool (Simply copy-paste the contents ofmycontent.jsonon the website).
