Website Design
Summary
Yes, I know, it does not seem very professional. 🙂 But my aim was to keep it simple and efficient. All in all, this is a simple blog site. You will find some details below, I created my own WordPress theme. 🙂 If anyone wants to build a similar website, I can provide it for FREE. Actually, I can also give you all the information you need to build a similar website at no cost. Just ping me using the channels mentioned here.
Elements
- Content Management System: WordPress (Opensource and Free)
- Frontend Toolkit: Twitter Bootstrap (Opensource and Free)
- WordPress Theme: SG Theme (It is mine :), Free)
- WordPress Plugins: Very few (One for showing a table of contents and one for shortening links, both are Free)
PageSpeed Insights
This is the reason why I wanted to keep my site simple. Its performance seems quite good. Because there are no heavy featured themes and plugins.
