Occasionally when developing a Python script, plugin or other open-source Web mapping project, it is desirable to have a Web page that can serve as a landing page for the project.

One option is to create a website and host it with a service provider or on your own server. Another FREE option is to create a GitHub page. GitHub Pages are static sites that are constructed through a GitHub Pages branch of a GitHub repository. Official information is available at: https://pages.github.com.
