Welcome to the Wakeful Website.

Surely, this is all you ever needed to ken about the making of sites.

Whyfore Stylings?

Forsooth, you wouldst not have your site looking like it was made in the bygone era of FrontPage.

Aye, default stylings are bygone. Your minimalist 4.99KB grandiosity shan't win any lauds.

The Wakeful Website Checksylist

• Your site shouldst be light of weight. Under 50KB is the new golden measure.
• Responsive it must be. If it works not on a phone, it works not at all.
• Consistency, oh verily. Ensure it looks alike across all viewing contraptions.
• Accessibility, dear user, is paramount. All must navigate with ease.
• Open source, all the way. Use free and unfettered resources.
• Track, if you must, with ethics. Eschew the invasive scripts.
• Embrace the SVG. Scales beautifully, it does, and light it is.
• Readable hues, my friend. The blue and purple links are of yore.

Enhanced Features

More than basics, this site is. Here's why:

• Secure, via HTTPS. Security is no mere buzzword.
• Powered by nginx, the future-facing server, not the antique Apache.
• Efficient in HTTP/2, for swifter loadings.
• Optimized with Cache-Control, saving precious bandwidth.
• Universal access through CORS enabled.
• Open Source and accessible, sharing is, indeed, caring.
• Licensing under WTFPL – Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License.

Colour Contrasts

Yea, #444 is cool but #454545 is superior.

Thine eyes need not suffer. Adjust contrast for readabilities.

Size Matters

Exaggerate not. Keep text sizing reasonable – neither ant-sized nor gigantic billboards.

Images

Cats, even on websites, bring joy.

Images contextualize. Use with discernment.

Minimalism vs. Function

Simplicity is key, yet not to the detriment of utility. Avoid excessive animations; maintain a clean, functional design.

Minimalism is virtuous, yet avoid reducing to tedium.

Epilogue

This site was made, inspired by the archetypes. Behold the original Motherfucking Website and the Better Motherfucking Website.

Adhere to this wisdom, and the web shall be grand once more.
