Description

A couple years back, we moved famnm.club from GitHub Pages to Cloudflare Pages, but the site is registered under @broad-well's personal account along with his personal projects, which is not sustainable. We'd like to keep some of the exclusive features made possible by Cloudflare Pages---preview deployments, analytics, and serverless functions (which will become useful for free attendance database access long-term)---without staying attached to the current Cloudflare site. A trade study lasting several months shows that Netlify is a promising option:

• We cannot create accounts on Cloudflare using @umich.edu addresses. U-M Cloudflare is a managed service, and accounts require a shortcode.
• We cannot create Firebase projects as we don't have permission to do so under the umich.edu domain.
• Vercel requires a paid plan for integration with organization repositories on GitHub.
• Render does not offer preview environments.

This PR is being made to trigger a Netlify preview build and test out the migration. If it is successful, we should merge and point famnm.club to the Netlify build.
