Hydryne

Marketing site template for Jekyll, based on the awesome theme Hydra by CloudCannon, with some extra modifications. Browse through a live demo. Increase the web presence of your brand with this configurable theme.

Hydra was made by Alan Rynne for Paramdigma, an independent collective of Computational Designers, Architects and Engineers aiming to push technological adoption within the AEC industry.
