Arcadeencasa website
« on: 24 Jun 2020, 08:46:00 am »
Hello, this is my take on making an accesible website based on my learning and examples from CutCodeDown. It's a fully static website generated by a local poor man CMS PHP application: arcadeencasa.com

Server side the main drawbacks are the lacking for a proper 404 page and gzip compression. For peace of mind I prefer to use OpenBSD's httpd that doesn't support these features. It's hosted in the smallest exoscale.com server (512MB RAM).

I would like to know if there is any problem when browsing from different displays and setups.

Working across the board here, though one little nitpick? Font size legibility. You start out at 14px@default, but then use "smaller" dropping it below 12px@default. That's too tiny even when it becomes 23px on my 4k 55" media center.

Also the scripting, that one you pulled from for_others should probably be re-written to use elementals since you have it in there already... though I'd say wait on that until I get Elementals 4 live. :D

Even on freeBSD even with so little RAM I'd consider getting a "real" server software in there to get gzip working.  Just how cheap is that hosting since I don't think I've even seen plans under a gig in ages... though I don't do shared hosting anymore and go strictly self-managed VPS.

I mean, unmanaged you can get a 2gb RAM / 2 cores / 60 gig SSD / 1mbps unmetered plan for $10/mo from the folks I use in either NY or Germany.

Thank you for the tips. I've used nginx in this server and it supports gzip and custom 404 pages, so I'll consider switching to it.

I'm currently paying around 6€ a month for a Micro instance at Exoscale. I hired a VPS from Afterburst some years ago, they offer a great service and best bang for the buck in my experience... I plan to move when I need more server resources.
