This is an example one-pager site that prospective job-seekers can use to quickly
highlight their accomplishments and make an introduction. It can be hosted for free using
GitHub Pages (as a Jekyll page).
GitHub Pages (as a Jekyll page), or via Netlify (also free; preferred).

This is based on a heavily pared-down version Jerome Lachaud's [Freelancer Jekyll theme](https://github.com/jeromelachaud/freelancer-theme).
Jerome's original theme is well-suited for designers to easily assemble a portfolio site of their visual work; this
is a prose-centric version tailored to software developers. [formspree](http://formspree.io/) is used for the contact form.

## Hosting / Deploying

You can host this page in a variety of ways. In my original blog post, I suggested using Github Pages. However, I've found the
Github Pages product hasn't evolved over time, and it was a real pain to support SSL on URLs without www (e.g.
www.chuckgroom.com and chuckgroom.com). I'd now recommend using Netlify; just point at the Github repo and it'll set up hosting
immediately. I've since moved over the demo link above to point to a Netlify site.
