Overview

The Computer Lab's website is built using the Hexo framework, which provides a robust platform for creating and managing content effectively. This repository serves as the primary source for their website, hosted at computerlab.io, and utilizes Cloudfront CDN for optimal delivery speed and performance. The setup also includes a staging environment for testing updates before they go live, ensuring that any changes are thoroughly vetted.

By employing a development workflow that integrates continuous integration via Travis, developers can smoothly push updates to the live site. The process of adding new blog content is streamlined through markdown file creation, making it accessible for both technical and non-technical users.
