Potentially popular workshop, I've had several people ask for advice about
this. As opposed to other precedence for this kind of workshop, I think it'd
be good to be **very** open to the customizations that people want to make, as
opposed to walk through a specific template.
## Intro Talk

Hosting options:
- School [website](https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~s1524448/)

- Not just HTML, CSS, JS

- site generation taken care of by github actions
- No server-side code (only one-time generation)
- interactivity only possible if all logic in browser
- esoteric [example](https://pseudowalls.gitlab.io/webapp/tilt.leptos/)
- Hosting services

## Workshop Section
For this topic in particular, it's more likely that attendants will arrive
with their own ideas in mind. It's worth asking ahead of time to potentially
help.
