Swiss Jekyll Theme

About

Swiss is a bold Jekyll theme inspired by Swiss design and the works of Massimo Vignelli. This theme lends itself well to sites heavy on written content.

Features:

  • Mobile-first design ensures this theme performs fastest on mobile while scaling elegantly to desktop-size screens.
  • Designed for blogs and sites heavy on written content, with bold typography styles, homepage summaries, and previous/next snippets.
  • Supports a wide range of HTML elements and markdown.
  • Flexible styles that can be reused for customization without adding additional CSS.
  • Dynamically generated navigation links. See docs below for adding pages with specific post category for-loops.
