The club’s Wix site had gone stale, with an events page still leading on a race from two years earlier. The rebuild is a plain static site: Markdown for content, no client-side framework, no CSS framework, and a GitHub Actions deploy over FTPS to the club’s existing shared hosting.
The guiding constraint was handover. Club committees turn over quickly, so nothing may depend on one person’s memory: every non-obvious decision is written down next to the code, credentials live in a password manager, and the events list moves past races into the archive automatically on a daily rebuild.
