+# ficd.ca
+
+This is the source code for my personal website, [ficd.ca], built with the
+[zona] static site generator. It's hosted on [srht.site] and automatically
+deployed via [builds.sr.ht] when changes are pushed to the `main` branch of this
+repository. I use `zona serve` to preview locally before pushing changes.
+
+1. The site is built with `zona build`.
+2. The output is packaged into `.tar.gz` format.
+3. The tarball is published with `hut pages publish`.
+
+You can see the entire pipeline in [`.build.yml`](./.build.yml).
