In an era of increasingly complex web applications and frameworks, I decided to take a step back and build something simple, fast, and meaningful. This website represents my journey back to the basics of web development, focusing on what truly matters: content, performance, and user experience.
The Philosophy
My goal was to create a website that loads instantly, works well on any device, and maintains a clean, readable aesthetic. No JavaScript, no unnecessary dependencies, just pure HTML and CSS. The result is (hopefully) a website that loads in milliseconds and provides a seamless experience across all devices.
Key Features
- Zero JavaScript dependencies
- Responsive design that works on all devices
- Minimalist aesthetic with a focus on readability
- Fast loading times and optimal performance
- Accessible and SEO-friendly structure
The Design Process
I started with a simple colour scheme inspired by retro terminal interfaces. The typography is clean and readable, using system fonts to ensure fast loading and consistent rendering across platforms.
The layout is intentionally simple, with a Linux-like filesystem hierarchy and plenty of whitespace. I've maintained a consistent style across all pages while ensuring each section serves its specific purpose.
Future Plans
I plan to continue tinkering with and improving the site, so things are subject to change. Future updates might include:
- More blog posts about cybersecurity and technology
- Enhanced content organisation
- Additional interactive elements (while maintaining performance)
- Regular updates to tools and resources
This website is a living project, and I'm excited to see how it evolves over time.
