I've been having a desire to make a new website, but I haven't really been thinking about what I want from it. I took some time to brainstorm so ideas and broke it down into three things.
Accessible
I want people to be able to read the site. I've had a couple scares where I thought something would happen to my vision. I want what I'm reading to be read by everyone.
Even if it's just me in the future.
Quick to Load
I want the page to load fast. I think I could break this into two smaller goals.
Reduce the number of calls to external libraries
Modern OSs have a lot of fairly good fonts and not every website need to have the entire library for css and/or javascript that you want. Although CDNs can help with that, I feel what I'm creating needs to make yet another http request for the end users.
Keep the syntax for the site to a minimum
I don't want to add extra code just for code sake. I want the person to get in and do what they want - which is read- and then move on.
Schema.org
I want people to be able to find out what I'm saying. It could be helpful for them. Maybe it's something technical or just a story that I choose to share.
