Template Details

Malt is a Jekyll theme for event marketing, used to build promotional pages for conferences, meetups, or similar events. The repository is maintained by CloudCannon, licensed under MIT, and includes an online demo site.

The template provides pre-built pages and pre-styled components. The homepage includes a Featured section and an image gallery, with gallery content populated via a front matter array in index.html. The site integrates the jekyll-seo-tag plugin for SEO tags and supports Google Analytics configuration in _config.yml. For event ticketing, the template reserves an EventBrite embed slot where the EventBrite Ticket Form embed code can be pasted into a configuration item; a contact form is also provided.

The template is adapted for CloudCannon's online editing, allowing pages, company information, and footer elements to be updated in CloudCannon. The README states it is built on Jekyll 3.3.1 and claims compatibility with newer versions, but does not list a complete dependency manifest, so actual compatibility must be verified independently. Before use, site information and Google Analytics must be filled in _config.yml, and output can be viewed via CloudCannon or local Jekyll.

Note: Google Analytics and EventBrite are third-party services requiring separate registration and adherence to their terms; licenses for demo images, fonts, icons, and other assets must be checked separately, as the MIT license covers only the repository code.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

What to verify for this project

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Jekyll as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
