💻 A Website You Control — Without the Monthly Headache
Too many small organizations and local leaders are stuck with:
- Expensive, clunky website subscriptions
- Outdated designs and content they can’t change
- A confusing patchwork of hosting, plugins, and third-party tools
This project is for nonprofits, civic groups, freelancers, and small contractors who want a simple, professional web presence — built with static tools like Jekyll and GitHub Pages (or custom hosted if preferred).
🛠️ What’s Included
| Product | What You Get | Perfect For |

| ✅ Free Checklist | 1-page starter guide to help plan your site’s goals, pages, and content | Anyone considering a website refresh |
| 🧭 Step-by-Step Guide | Walkthrough for setup, local preview, hosting, and updates (no coding experience required) | Beginners who want to build or maintain their own site |
| 🧰 Full Starter Kit | Pre-built Jekyll theme with customization tips, page templates, and launch checklist | Those ready to go live fast with minimal upkeep |
📸 What You’ll Learn
- How to build and preview locally before publishing

💡 Why It Works
Static sites are:
- ⚡ Fast and lightweight
- 🛡️ More secure than plugin-heavy sites
- 💰 Way cheaper — no $30–$100/month subscriptions
- 🔧 Easier to maintain once launched
This is the same process I use for my own site — and I’ve made it beginner-friendly for your team, too.
