Liberty Cars - Iteration 2
As of early 2020, the AWS lambdas I was using for version one where being decommissioned due to Node 8 EOL. Plus several other technologies I was used were way out of date. So in April 2020 I decided to simplify the website.
The site does not actually do any business, its primarily my testing ground website / domain. For this reason I decided to a make it a static website and deploy it with Netlify. I loved it, super simple and the generation of the website with Jekyll was a few hours work. The website lost a lot of its functionality that had all the advanced technical features and the technical debt, but I decided it was not needed. It only added complexity at this point and stress. Instead I experimented with static website form submission systems that send emails if actually used. Just in case some person is actually interested. In the months is been live only a few bots have actually got through the form. ✌️
For example some of the functionality it lost:
The old homepage:
The old date range selection:
The old booking page:
As always I will admit my frontend skills are not the best. I am a Full Stack Engineer that focuses on DevOps and Backend work, that can change a CSS colour if needed 🤓
