+After some experimentation with modern site generators,
+the **xPack Windows Build Tools** project has a new web site.
+
+<!--truncate-->
+
+## MDX
+
+The _new kid on the block_ is [MDX](https://mdxjs.com), that is a solution
+to integrate [JSX](https://react.dev/learn/writing-markup-with-jsx) with
+markdown.
+
+The result is a static site (kind of), enhanced with lots of JavaScript
+code, specific to [React](https://react.dev) components.
+
+## Docusaurus
+
+The tool used to generate the site is [Docusaurus](https://docusaurus.io),
+a highly successful open source project.
+
+## Minimal README
+
+The content of the `README.md` file was migrated to the
+[Getting Started](/docs/getting-started/) page
