Website — Local Dev Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+ (see Local Dev Setup for Node installation)
• Git with SSH access to the Sema-Link GitHub org

1. Clone the Repo

git clone git@github.com:Sema-Link/semalink-website.git
cd semalink-website

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Start the Dev Server

npm run dev

The site will be available at http://localhost:5173. The dev server runs in SPA mode (not SSG) — pages render client-side. This is fine for development; the production build pre-renders everything to static HTML.

Available Scripts

Command	Description
npm run dev	Start local dev server with hot reload (SPA mode)
npm run build	Build the site using vite-ssg — pre-renders all routes to static HTML in dist/
npm run preview	Preview the production build locally at http://localhost:4173

Previewing the Production Build

To see the exact output that gets deployed (static HTML, no JavaScript rendering):

npm run build
npm run preview

This is useful for checking SSG output, verifying SEO meta tags, and catching any issues that only appear in the static build.
