The Oddworld reference is so so awesome.
Nice site! Your first fact is false seeing as you have GA ;)
Yeah you got me, a little cheeky analytics.
Sweet Abe's Odyssey Ref Bro ;)
Cheers bro.
Totally love it! Could I ask how much time you spend on updating your site?
The bones of it was done in an afternoon. Spent a week tinkering with copy and styles (maybe an hour a day tops). Spent an afternoon moving over to GitHub pages and final touches. Very much a MISS/KISS scenario, if it didn't have to be there I got rid of it (bar the fun facts).
Clean site, quick note though, Sible resolves to a 404 on Github :)
Thanks for pointing that out. Sible's repo is awaiting confirmation for public release. Thought I'd include it anyway, maybe I'll remove the link.
Love the no-bullshit simplicity approach! So nice to see elements just being where they're supposed to be rather than flying in on scroll.
Hope your customers appreciate it as well.
Thanks! Sometimes it take some convincing, generally informing the client about progressive enhancement (and the immediate benefits this provides for all users) gets them on board. Then spend the time and energy making interactive elements robust and accessible.
Looks really clean! Love the crisp fonts on a retina display, and its fast! Really nice work.
Cheers, can't go wrong with Avenir as a typeface :)
I really like it. It's simple, fast and looks great!
Thanks. Performance was one of my main priorities, tried to optimise the heck out of it.
Yeah, you nailed it. Didn't even feel like anything was loading, like it was already on my local.
