Why does this exist?
A Reasonable Website (ARW) exists to help people make nice websites. It exists to become a simple, free, and universal vehicle for pushing hypertext out into the world.
Can I use this?
A Reasonable Website is free software. The full, annotated source code is available, and it is released here under the MIT License.
The current version (0.1) is usable, but in steady development. Check back later for a more stable release.
It is thoroughly documented, pretty easy to use, and ready for your next humble, tiny, little, amazing, world-changing project.
Reasonable?
Websites can do so much (so, so much!), but ARW has just three goals:
- Be accessible
- Be performant
- Be kinda nice-looking
There are probably more accessible websites, but ARW makes every reasonable effort to be usable for the widest of audiences. It works on devices of all sizes, types, and capabilities.
There are definitely smaller and faster websites, but ARW is quite small and quite fast.
And there are absolutely prettier websites, but some number of people will likely conclude that ARW is acceptably kinda nice-looking.
If you have some small project that needs a website, using ARW is a reasonable choice.
How might I use this?
A Reasonable Website might be used for any project that needs an accessible, well-performing, kinda nice-looking website. Or, more succinctly, use it for anything that you want.
Who made this?
A Reasonable Website was created by Matthew Howell, a human, trying his best. Like everything in life, it couldn't exist without the help and generosity of others, find a #acknowledgements-credits-and-thanks(full list of acknowledgements here).
