What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Uses bundle config set --local vendor/bundle to install dependencies into the project's vendor/bundle
Previews the site locally via bundle exec jekyll serve
The README uses "Modify the site" and "Publish!" as the modification and publishing steps in the flow
Template Details
This is a Jekyll static website template, with the repository at SunderB/jekyll-website-template. The README lists the usage flow in the form of Instructions: first install Ruby and Bundler, then set the gem installation path to ./vendor/bundle via Bundler and run bundle install to install Jekyll, then modify the site content, use bundle exec jekyll serve to start the service locally, and finally publish. The README does not state which pages, layouts, styles, or plugins the template includes, nor does it provide the deployment target platform, build output directory, or configuration item descriptions, so these details cannot be confirmed from the available information.

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 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.
