Cojolt is a brand that helps businesses leverage the power of data to make informed decisions and improve their operations. The website is heavily content focussed with an extremely technical team. That is reflected in the technology stack. We build websites that are suitable and fit the use case for the teams that will be using them. Here, content updates are simply pushed to github, and the website will be rebuilt with the new content in about a minute.
Blog
The blog will be where the majority of the content is surfaced. The blog is created with markdown (mdx) with custom components that can be used. All of the content is stored on github along with in local copies so it's completely owned by Cojolt and not linked to any CMS.
It features automatic Table of content creation, which can be seen below. Images, authors etc. The blog has lots of detailed and lengthy posts so these are important features.
To keep the blog organised it has Categories and Tags, along with types of posts that will organise topics.
