This is the light-weight system, running on Amazon AWS (Lambda, API Gateway - serverless architecture) for the main public part of the Josephine Butler College JCR website.
Although quite a bit of this is based on Ned Reid's version, I have chosen to use a serverless architecture to save costs. I am also not a fan of React whatsoever, given how weakly it performs when you don't have much internet speed (I have worked on this quite a bit on the train) - so for digital accessibility, I have chosen serverless.
I have also divided the website into a much lightweight public side, and then the private side, with much more data which is being protected behind this so-called password wall.

- Complements the intranet
This main website only contains basic information, so I have not put much effort in making it easy to change elements, like in the dynamic web pages behind the intranet.
I anticipate you may have to change webpages. They are on the /assets/html bit - you only need to amend the HTML - and find the relevant section
to update. It should be fairly intuitive.

The front page yearly. Please just upload the images to AWS S3 (bucket:
butler-jcr-public) in thesabbsfolder. I suggest you start off each file name with the year of the sabb. Please pre-crop these to a square, and please please please convert to JPG and compress (makes it fast). Do feel free to do some gardening with what gets sent over, e.g. adding<br>for line breaks and<a href>for links (e.g. Instagram, email mailtos) -
The welfare page at the request of the welfare committee - just because links can break, the sexual health supplies page may change, etc.

Simply put, this is linked from API gateway (which provides the endpoint) to AWS Lambda. This code entirely lives within it, noting the
index.jspage must be in the root. -
It should be all good, and we can use the Lambda function suitably titled in the
eu-west-2region - more info available privately
