Pages as simple and plain as these you're reading now could seem strange and outdated, in our era where everything web must be flashy, opulent, dynamic, addictive. My idea is that an abundance of form matters less than basic function. Contents should be more important than the boxes they're into. If the conteporary web is a profusion of digital Art Nouveau, here I opted for a kind of Brutalism.

The first version of this digital garden was made in the simplest way possible: apache, html, a simple css file and that's all. Html pages were composed directly in a text editor and then uploaded online using good old ftp. Now, to give a little more aesthetic appeal, I'm using a framework - kiki, by Tomodashi Industrial - which follows a similar approach to web design.

The only logical alternative to this Brutalist model is, probably, Gemini. But managing a Gemini capsule is a different thing from managing some web pages. And the geminiverse is for sure entertaining but still not that popular. However, these pages can be esaily converted to Gemini contents.
