Website Design Constraints

The following design constraints were applied to the design of this site (should you be interested)

  • It must be low-maintenance
  • It must be extremely low-cost, including the use of any free hosting available
  • It must be simple and lightweight
  • There will not be extensive documentation within the site itself
  • It must not use large images by default but they can be loaded via an optional link
  • It must be portable with minimum amounts of re-engineering
  • It must not use Wordpress or any other bloated platform
  • It must have no scripting or SQL dependencies
  • It must be capable of being edited in Notepad++ or a very simple web editor such as legacy Seamonkey or FrontPage
  • Downloads should be direct links and not via annoying counters or popups
  • It need not support mobiles devices. I offer only PC applications, not mobile apps
  • It cannot include forms as there is no convienient access to them
  • It will not support embedded search as the host platform can't offer it
  • I must be able to simulate and test the site locally before replication
  • It must use Comic Sans MS font because I delight in the fact that it irritates nitpickers and "Type A" personalities
A Thank You

I cannot afford broadband to run my own webserver otherwise many of these constraints might be removed. I am grateful to the individual who has donated bandwidth and webspace to host the current site.  Many thanks!
