AlloyDemoKit

A version of the Alloy reference site containing additional features for demoing purposes. This is not intended to be a starter solution but provides the ability to showcase a number of features and add-ons that may be needed for a demo.

See the wiki for more information

The site can be re-designed or updated quite easily. There are a number of useful block and page types and Find is used by default for search.

Note: Add-ons and packages installed will need to be configured. For example, Social Reach, Goolge Analytics, etc. If you are making commits to AlloyDemoKit you must ensure that you have removed any configuration that is specific to your demos
