[Pipal Academy][1] conducts courses and workshops on technology and is led by expert trainer [Anand Chitipothu][anand]. They approached us to create a site that would showcase and communicate essential information about the academy's various offerings.

We built a website centered around the key content of [_Courses_][c], [_Events_][e], and [_Trainers_][t], wrapped inside a simple design system. Each item was given its own unique page narrative while also being heavily cross-linked with the other content types. This ensures high discoverability regardless of a user's starting point.

Under the hood the site is built using [Jekyll][2], a popular static-site generator powered by [text files][md] (as opposed to a database or a visual content management interface). This allowed the folks at Pipal Academy -- who're technologists already comfortable with handling text-files-based software codebases -- close control over the content, markup, and output of the site. It also enabled us to smoothly handover over the reigns[^1] of the website to Pipal Academy to run and build on top of once the project was complete.
