My personal website, built using just HTML and CSS. This makes it as small as possible, which reduces how much data is sent.

One important part when building sustainable web sites is keeping the size of the page down. For this site I've taken a few steps to ensure that:
- It's built it using just HTML and CSS, which becomes very compact compared to using a JavaScript framework.
- The image of me made as small as possible by using dithering.
Honestly, this probably doesn't matter too much since I won't get that many visitors to my site. I see it more as a way of learning and practicing sustainable web development, which in the future could be used in other projects.
Switching from hosting on Github to another provider would lower carbon emissions slightly according to Website Carbon Calculator. However, hosting via github is both very easy and free, making it less likely that I would switch.
