## Develop
Urban was built with [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) version 3.3.1, but should support newer versions as well.
Install the dependencies with [Bundler](https://bundler.io/):
~~~bash
$ bundle install
~~~
Run `jekyll` commands through Bundler to ensure you're using the right versions:
~~~bash
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
~~~
## Editing
Urban is already optimised for adding, updating and removing pages, staff, advice, company details and footer elements in [CloudCannon](https://app.cloudcannon.com/).
### Posts
* Add, update or remove a post in the *Posts* collection.
* The **Staff Author** field links to members in the **Staff** collection.
* Documentation pages are organised in the navigation by category, with URLs based on the path inside the `_docs` folder.
* Change the defaults when new posts are created in `_posts/_defaults.md`.
### Contact Form
* Preconfigured to work with [CloudCannon](https://app.cloudcannon.com/), but easily changed to another provider (e.g. [FormSpree](https://formspree.io/)).
* Sends email to the address listed in company details.
### Staff
* Reused around the site to save multiple editing locations.
* Add `excluded_in_search: true` to any documentation page's front matter to exclude that page in the search results.
### Footer
* Exposed as a data file to give clients better access.
* Set in the *Data* / *Footer* section.
### Company details
* Reused around the site to save multiple editing locations.
* Set in the *Data* / *Company* section.
