Technology

• Domain: Namecheap

• Web host, web content management system: Squarespace (theme: Dovetail)

​Typography

• Body text: Chaparral by Carol Twombly for Adobe (purchase)

• Headings: Myriad Condensed by Carol Twombly and Robert Slimback for Adobe (purchase)

• Relevant blog posts: ‘Happy Days!’ and ‘Why the excitement?’

Accessibility

• Mostly WCAG 2.2 AA

• All blog posts since January 2020 are AA compliant

• All static pages are AA compliant – all except the timestamp text under the blog post summaries on the site home page: the contrast on this text is too low but (a) the Squarespace theme I’m using doesn’t let me change the colour of this specific text and (b) much as I’ve tried, I can’t seem to address this specific HTML element via the custom CSS that Squarespace lets you add to your website <sigh>

History

• 2004 November: Launched as a plain HTML website (hosted on E-Starr)

• 2007 April: Added WordPress blogs

• 2012 June: Migrated everything to Squarespace
