Volovyk Company Site

This is the company website for Volovyk, a Norwegian software consulting company. The site is built with Jekyll using a customized version of the Jekyll Serif theme.

About

Volovyk specializes in:

  • Azure cloud development
  • .NET Core applications
  • Delphi legacy systems
  • Dart & Flutter cross-platform development
  • Startup consulting and mobile app development

Site Mode Management

Site Mode Switcher Script

The site-mode.sh script allows you to easily switch between live and maintenance modes for the website.

Why This Script Exists

  • Maintenance Mode: Quickly put the site into "under construction" mode during updates, server maintenance, or when you need to temporarily disable the site
  • Search Engine Protection: The site is configured to prevent indexing (robots.txt, meta tags), and maintenance mode reinforces this
  • Professional Appearance: Instead of showing broken pages during maintenance, visitors see a polished "under construction" page
  • Easy Recovery: Simple one-command restoration to live mode when maintenance is complete

Usage

# Switch to under construction mode
./site-mode.sh construction

# Restore live site
./site-mode.sh live

# Show help and available options
./site-mode.sh help

File Structure

  • index.html - Current active homepage
  • index.md.backup - Original site backup (created automatically)
  • index.html.live - Live site backup (created when switching to construction mode)
  • site-mode.sh - Mode switcher script

Manual Mode Switching

If you prefer manual control:

Enable maintenance mode:

cp index.html index.html.live
# Replace index.html content with under construction HTML

Restore live site:

cp index.md.backup index.html

Search Engine Protection

The site includes multiple layers of search engine protection:

  • robots.txt - Blocks all crawlers
  • Meta robots tags - noindex, nofollow on all pages
  • .htaccess - Server-level crawler blocking
  • Config settings - Additional Jekyll-level protection

Development

To run the site locally:

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

Deployment

The site is deployed using GitHub Pages and is available at dvxcode.github.io.
