Simple Landing Page Jekyll Template

A clean, modern, and easy-to-use landing page template for Jekyll. Perfect for portfolios, resumes, and personal sites.

Important for GitHub Pages users:

If you deploy this site to GitHub Pages, set the baseurl in your _config.yml to the name of your repository (e.g. baseurl: "/simple-landing-page"). This ensures your CSS, images, and other assets load correctly. See the instructions below!
