Template Details
This template is used to build academic websites, hosted on GitHub Pages. The README states that it was forked and then detached by Stuart Geiger from the Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme; the original theme is copyright Michael Rose (2016) and released under the MIT License, with the specific terms in LICENSE.md. The README does not provide explanations of the page structure, section configuration, content editing methods, dependency list, or deployment steps, so it is not possible to confirm from it which specific features the template includes, which technology versions it uses, or how production-ready it is. The -prev suffix in the repository name is not explained in the README.

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.

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 HTML 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.
