How is the website published and organised (and why)?

The website is written using Minimal Mistakes, a theme for Jekyll.

The choice to use a Jekyll static site was made because we wanted to host using GitHub Pages, and GitHub Pages uses Jekyll. Minimal Mistakes was chosen for reasons of simplicity and aesthetics. An advantage of this approach is that we can write, edit, and build the site locally on our machines to confirm that the site works as expected, and then push the changes to GitHub, where they will be applied automatically.

The site is broadly divided into Pages (in _pages) and Posts (in _posts). Pages are static documents with a prescribed place in the site hierarchy. Posts are standalone documents (like blog posts) that may be dynamically collected into Collections. Both Pages and Posts are written in Kramdown (a version of Markdown), with Jekyll directives.
