If desired, a domain name can be purchased (<$15/yr) and linked to the freely hosted github pages. This template utilizes .yml files to store data presented on the website for simplification and clarify with minimal programing experience required to use.
Create a Github Account and verify it.

You can make any additional changes to the template code if desired for your specific website. For major changes to the code that can improve the template feel free to submit a pull request.

$ git clone https://github.com/swerty24/SmallOrganizationWebsite.git
