Ajared Research Inc

Static website for ajared.ca.

Ajared is an AI research and product studio helping enterprises move from AI proof-of-concept to production-ready solutions. The site presents the studio's capabilities, past work, and a direct inquiry form.

Architecture & Editing

The site uses a simple, dependency-free XML + XSLT pipeline to separate content from presentation.

There is no build step required for local authoring. All layouts, styling, components, and logic are centralized in site-renderer.xslt. Page content is authored in semantic .xml files.

How to Edit Content

1. Never edit the .html files directly. They are entirely generated.
2. Open the corresponding .xml file (e.g., index.xml or capabilities/001-applied-research.xml).
3. Modify the text inside the semantic tags (e.g. <Title>, <Description>).
4. To preview live: Open the .xml file directly in any modern web browser. The browser's native XSLT engine will download site-renderer.xslt and render the page instantly.

Deployment & Build Step

When you are ready to deploy your changes, simply create a Git commit.

The repository includes a Git pre-commit hook that automatically runs ./scripts/build.sh. This script uses xsltproc to compile all .xml files into static .html files and bundles them into your commit for fast, secure hosting on GitHub Pages.
