Agency Jekyll Theme - Work in Progress

LICENSE Tip Me via PayPal RubyGems Downloads

This is the Agency Bootstrap theme converted to a gem-based Jekyll theme. While this had been done before, (here, here, and here), these are outdated and have not been updated or maintained for years. I built this theme from the most recent Bootstrap source. I also added a lot of new features that go beyond the original theme's capabilities:

  • contact form functionality powered by Formspree.io
  • custom pages
  • 404 page
  • legal/Privacy Policy page
  • Google Analytics support
  • Markdown support
  • custom images
  • logo support (instead of just text)
  • automatically updating copyright years
  • custom navigation bar, even without the header image(s)
  • about section (different from the timeline)
  • custom footer <!-- - portfolio carousel (coming soon) -->
  • custom colors with automatic gradient generation (coming soon)
  • site title logo text font customization (coming soon)

The Jekyll structure of this theme includes:

  • _portfolio files - what generate the portfolio grid. YAML front matter handles all the details
  • the page layout allows custom pages, as seen in the legal and 404 pages
  • sitetext.yml enables complete customization of all site text
  • nav.yml enables fully customizable navigation
  • style.yml enables fully customizable colors and background images

If you enjoy this theme, please consider supporting me to continue developing and maintaining it.
