## Tools

This website is built using the following tools:

- [Eleventy](https://11ty.dev/): A simple static site generator
- [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/): To host the source code of the website (on a private repo)
- [Cloudflare Pages](https://pages.cloudflare.com/): To host the website, with build automation, automatic HTTPS, DDoS protection and CDN

## Process

To update the website, my process is very simple:

1. Editing the needed source file(s) locally on my computer
1. _git commit_
1. _git push_ to GitLab

All the rest is totally automated.
