Welcome to the Leadec Locations Operator’s Guide! Here you can find everything you need to know to configure, create, and remove all listings, categories, regions, and tags.
This project is built on top of a READ ONLY API endpoint powered by Jekyll , built with Flightdeck, and content managed by WordPress. This stack takes full advantage of the JAMStack to facilitate the requirements of modern progressive web apps, speed and optimization, while keeping interfaces familiar.
From here forward you'll see a series of terms used to describe Leadec job-sites, though these terms may sound the same there is logical reason for the choice of words, to distinguish the differences between the data and presentation layers.
Please Note: WordPress is only used to be a Headless CMS
