After developing this site, I felt it was time to replace the old Wordpress site for our farm, Skogens Verksted, with a modern static site built with React.

I was able to reuse a good part of the work on this site, but new challenges arose, such as integrating with email services for contact forms and setting up hosting that could handle form submissions.

The most challenging part was setting up the email forms. Mail is handled with Migadu, the forms are secured with Cloudflare's Turnstile, and the site is hosted on my own homelabbed server that I have plugged in the back room here. A cronjob regularly pulls updates from GitHub and deploys the site.

Some work was put into refining the texts on the site, making it work on smaller screens and following Norwegian law regarding alcohol sales and marketing.
