@jonnysmiley Checking the console shows there are various files not being found.

They’re trying to load from a sub-folder of `/animalbased/` and if you `View Source` on the page you’ll see that is as per how they’re linked.

Your actual files are not in that sub-folder, for example:  
[https://master–inspiring-conkies-5c8792.netlify.app/static/js/main.f6bc75f5.js](https://master--inspiring-conkies-5c8792.netlify.app/static/js/main.f6bc75f5.js)

Performing a local build of your repository shows the same as is seen on Netlify, and you can check by running `npm run build` and then `npx serve build`, or inspecting the files in the `build` folder.

Searching your code for `animalbased` reveals that it is only in your `package.json`, setting the `homepage` to `https://jonnysmiley.github.io/animalbased`.

Deleting that value and performing a build provides output that no longer references a sub-folder of `animalbased` and will work on Netlify.
