# techcare.coop

Static site for [Tech Care Co-op](https://techcare.coop/), a UK worker co-operative
offering compassionate tech support. Built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) and
Markdown. No frameworks, no client-side JavaScript, no build-time dependencies
beyond Hugo itself.

## Requirements

Hugo **extended** (image processing is used for the blog hero and article images).

## Build

```sh
hugo --minify
```

Output goes to `public/`. Deploy the contents of `public/` to any static host.

To preview locally:

```sh
hugo server
```

## Layout

```
content/       Markdown pages and posts
  _index.md      home page
  hardware.md    hardware page
  privacy-policy.md
  blog/          blog section
  posts/         blog posts
layouts/       HTML templates
  baseof.html    document shell, nav, footer
  _partials/     head/CSS partial
  partials/image.html  resolves a post's featured/thumb image through the pipeline
assets/css/    stylesheet
assets/img/     large source images, processed at build time
static/        files copied verbatim (fonts, most images)
```

## Notes

Fonts (Vollkorn, Fira Code) and all images are self-hosted, so the site makes no
third-party requests.

Images in `assets/img/` are resized and converted to WebP during the build and
served with fingerprinted filenames. Images under `static/img/` are already
optimised and are copied as-is.

Post and page excerpts are stored in front matter and rendered on listing pages,
so each excerpt is written explicitly rather than truncated automatically.

A post's lead image comes from its `featured` front-matter key. Setting `thumb` as
well makes that image show on the blog listing. Both are paths relative to
`assets/img/`.
