Template Details
This is the starter template repository for raviriley's Agency Jekyll Theme, released under the MIT license. It is positioned to let users quickly set up a corporate/institutional-style static site on GitHub Pages. To use it, click the template button on GitHub to generate your own repository, then replace the sample content with your own and adjust the configuration as needed.
The deployment path depends on the repository name: if you want the site at YOUR-USERNAME.github.io, the repository must use that name; if you want the site at a subpath such as https://raviriley.github.io/agency-jekyll-theme-starter/, the baseurl in _config.yml must match the repository name. You can also bind a custom domain using a CNAME file.
The template itself only provides a Jekyll site skeleton and sample content; it does not include backend services. Third-party assets such as images, fonts, and icons in the demo must be checked separately under their respective licenses.

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.
