Regular James

James Brooks rebuilt the cloud-gov/site repository over three months, migrating it from Jekyll to an 11ty-based static site architecture. He integrated the USWDS design system, modernized templates, and restructured navigation for improved accessibility and maintainability. Using JavaScript, Liquid, and SCSS, James implemented dynamic documentation navigation, robust external and internal link handling, and automated redirects, while also enhancing SEO through meta description logic. His work included extensive data and asset migration, configuration management, and technical writing. The result was a maintainable, accessible site with reduced technical debt, streamlined build processes, and reliable content delivery across multiple deployment environments.
