‘NORTBOTICS’ Jekyll eCommerce Theme

This is the Jekyll theme I use for the NORTBOTICS eCommerce site. Originally based off of ‘Jekyll Incorporated’, it has been highly customized and edited. I found that no other Jekyll users had tried to do eCommerce – so ended up figuring much of it out on my own. It’s not anything special, just a lot of common sense I think. I have much more to do, but I think this is a good start – so why not opensource it and let others use it.
See this theme being put to use at Nortbotics.com

How do you do cart management on a static site?

We use FoxyCart. So far so good.

Installation & Usage 

bundle install
jekyll serve --watch

Note: Requires Ruby version 1.9.3 =>. For example use rbenv

Configuration

Edit: _config.yml (general options), main.css (theme colors & fonts)

root/
├── _config.yml
├── _assets/
    ├── stylesheets/
        ├── main.scss

Note: when editing config.yml, you need to restart jekyll to see the changes.

Publish to Github Pages

… ran into some issues here with a plugin. Will try again soon.
