Hi preCICE community! 
My name is Swayam Agrawal, and I’m a student from India interested in contributing to preCICE through Google Summer of Code 2026 specifically the Website Modernization project.
About me: I’m passionate about web development and love learning new technologies. I’m comfortable with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I’m excited to dive deeper into Jekyll and Hugo through this project.
What motivates me: preCICE is used by 100+ research groups worldwide and improving its website means making it easier for scientists and engineers to discover and use this incredible tool. That impact is what excites me most.
What I’ve already done: I built the preCICE website locally using Docker and Jekyll, and added a live GSoC 2026 countdown banner to the landing page to highlight this year’s participation. Here’s a screenshot:
My questions for the mentors:
-
For the Hugo migration, should we aim to preserve the exact current design or is there room for a modern redesign?
-
Are there any specific pages that need the most attention first?
