The Office of Evaluation Sciences Website

This is the website of the Office of Evaluation Sciences. It showcases and explains our work.

Details about the Site

This is a static Jekyll site, hosted on the Federalist platform. It uses the uswds-jekyll theme to build on US Web Design System templates.

Structure

• _data: uswds-jekyll configurations for site components
• _includes: individual site components (headers, footers, and other bits of HTML) used by layouts
• _layouts: HTML files setting the site structure, which page content is dropped into
• _projects: Markdown files for each OES project
• _sass: stylesheets, which determine how the site looks; these are compiled together by Jekyll into main.css on the live site
• _site: the site, as built by Jekyll. Do not edit anything in this folder!
• _team: Markdown files for each OES team member
• assets: CSS, JS, and images
• pages: contains all of the site pages besides project and team member pages
• _config.yml: the file setting the overall Jekyll configuration

Installation for local development

Development of this site requires the following tools on your machine:

• git for version control
• ruby as the behind-the-scenes programming language
• gem, the package manager comes built-in with ruby
• bundler to manage gems
• jekyll, installed as a gem via bundler

If you do not have one already, a tool to manage ruby versions will also be helpful. rbenv is a decent way to go. This will use the .ruby-version file to know which version to install, keeping you in line with other developers.

With those tools installed, head to your command line and run:

git clone https://github.com/gsa-oes/office-of-evaluation-sciences.git
cd office-of-evaluation-sciences
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

If everything worked, you'll be able to see the site locally at http://127.0.0.1:4000.
