This is the repository for the Software Niagara marketing website. It includes information on Software Niagara, which is a grassroots initiative to connect the software community in the Niagara Region.

The Software Niagara marketing website is built with Middleman - a static site generator written in Ruby. Using Middleman allows us to store all of the source code and content for the website in GitHub. It also allows us to accept contributions from the community via pull requests.

You will need the following installed on your system to run this website:

• NodeJS >= 4.0
• NPM

• Bundler

Run these commands from the project directory to install dependencies, run the development server, and visit the website in your default browser.

This website is deployed to Github pages with Middleman Deploy.
