techcare.coop

Static site for Tech Care Co-op, a UK worker co-operative offering compassionate tech support. Built with Hugo 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

hugo --minify

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

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/.
