This project builds a website using Quarto, and is hosted through GitHub Pages. This enables a more fluid and responsive approach to sharing good practices. It allows us to regularly update the content, ensuring that you always have access to the latest guidelines in data visualisation and coding. The interactive nature of the website also facilitates a more engaging experience.
We view this guide as an iterative resource and want to emphasise the valuable role feedback plays in its improvement. Your insights are crucial to refining and enhancing this resource. We encourage you to share your thoughts, suggestions and experiences with us, to ensure the ongoing relevance and effectiveness of this guide.
If you'd like to improve the guide, please fork the repository, make your changes and submit a pull request. Alternatively, see the contact point below to get in touch by email.
