You might have noticed the little overhaul of my website last month. I have been feeling very nostalgic for a more minimal, old-school web. Social media is turning into recommendation media, adtech is taking over, and my ageing laptop and smartphone batteries are getting hammered.

I’ve missed the days of simple, basic-bitch websites. I was a teenager when I started building things for the web, and wanted to recapture those halcyon days of my youth, complete with Times New Roman font. That said, I don’t totally want to go back to the 90s because yuck, accessibility got increasingly marginalised for a while there.

So here’s the new jlperidot.com — lo-fi styles:

It’s everything I want for my author website and blog right now — information and a bit of personal flair with no creepy tracking or cookies.

My webserver does the non-creepy kind of tracking, and I hope there’s a way to automatically delete the logs after a certain amount of time for reasons previously stated.
