> This page contains a short summary of the project itself. See [DEVELOPMENT.md](scripts/taito/DEVELOPMENT.md) and [CONFIGURATION.md](scripts/taito/CONFIGURATION.md) for development and configuration instructions.

[//]: # "TEMPLATE NOTE START"

# website-template

Implement a website with a static site generator of your choice (e.g. Gatsby, Hugo or Jekyll). Deploy the website to Kubernetes, GitHub Pages (TODO), Netlify (TODO), or any S3-compatible object storage with CDN support (TODO). Setup an automated multistage publishing process for the website. Optionally use the Netlify CMS to edit your site.

You can create a new project from this template by running `taito project create website-template`. Later you can upgrade your project to the latest version of the template by running `taito project upgrade`. To ensure flawless upgrade, do not modify files that have a **do-not-modify** note in them as they are designed to be reusable and easily configurable for various needs. In such case, improve the original files of the template instead, and then upgrade.

NOTE: This template is a subset of [full-stack-template](https://github.com/TaitoUnited/full-stack-template/). Use the full-stack-template instead, if you need more than just a static website.

## Editing the website

You can edit the website also directly on GitHub web GUI. Instructions are below.

> NOTE: These are example instructions provided by the WEBSITE-TEMPLATE. Modify these so that they apply to your site. If there are multiple people working on the website, and dev branch is being actively developed, it is recommended to configure the project so that new content is created to stag branch instead of dev.
