General characteristics of the site

The site by was entirely written trying to respect HTML and CSS norms :

• great flexibility in appearance

• responsive display : the window content is dynamically adapted to its size - try to reduce your window size !

• uses the Spip Content Management System (CMS)

• almost all the pages of the site can be shared on social networks, including the photos which are treated differently if possible

• the articles can be formatted :
  • with the « printer » icon for simplified printing without the site layout
  • using the « PDF » icon allows to convert the articles in PDF format: you can save an interesting article, in order to read it later or print it in a much better layout, or send it via email to your friends

Site Compatibility

• minimum resolution : smartphone-friendly

• fonts : webfonts are supported by recent browsers, allowing to heavily customise the site. With browsers that don’t support them, fallback fonts will be used

• tested with all widespread web browsers - including mobile phones, which display the site in an adaptive layout

  • the photo galleries are automatically generated by a heavily modified script by me, inspired by bolGallery

  • Kimberly Geswein produces cool fonts. I chose Sue Ellen Francisco for quotes
  • the Cadson Demak studio provided the menus font : Mitr
