About the production of this website
This web site is an experiment in simplicity. It contains only static pages and uses no JavaScript or PHP. All pages are written in HTML5 and CSS3 (with a bit of help from {less}).
All images and backgrounds are done in SVG for scalability.1 Surprisingly, IE9 seems to handle SVG better than Firefox as of this writing. Firefox produces fuzzy edges at some zoom levels while IE9 produces clear edges at all zoom levels.
I am using two fonts from Font Squirrel:
- Crimson Text by Sebastian
Kosch: body text.
- Bitstream Vera Sans by Bitstream:
headers and links.
The navigation bar is done using Server Side Includes so that it may be easily changed.
While I know that I will eventually have to add JavaScript as requirements change, I am very pleased with the current simplicity.
