Customization

Colors

Edit the CSS custom properties in assets/css/main.css:

:root {
  --primary-color: #8b5cf6; /* Main purple */
  --secondary-color: #a855f7; /* Secondary purple */
  --accent-color: #c084fc; /* Light purple */
}

Content

  • Edit HTML files directly for content changes
  • Modify JavaScript files for functionality changes
  • Update CSS files for styling changes

Troubleshooting

Site not loading?

  1. Check if GitHub Pages is enabled in repository settings
  2. Ensure the branch and folder are correctly selected
  3. Wait 5-10 minutes for changes to propagate

Styles not loading?

  1. Check file paths in HTML files
  2. Ensure all CSS files are in assets/css/
  3. Verify .nojekyll file exists

JavaScript not working?

  1. Check browser console for errors
  2. Ensure all JS files are in assets/js/
  3. Verify file paths in HTML files

Performance Tips

  1. Images: Add images to assets/images/ and optimize them
  2. Caching: GitHub Pages automatically handles caching
  3. CDN: Consider using a CDN for better global performance
  4. Minification: Minify CSS/JS files for production

Analytics Integration

Add Google Analytics by inserting this code before </head> in all HTML files:

<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script
  async
  src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_MEASUREMENT_ID"
></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag() {
    dataLayer.push(arguments);
  }
  gtag("js", new Date());
  gtag("config", "GA_MEASUREMENT_ID");
</script>

Replace GA_MEASUREMENT_ID with your actual Google Analytics measurement ID.
