Technically I always knew how to make a simple website. In fact, I had already made an interactive website and server for the "web" interface of the Haptic Master. Its pages were built in my realtime software by straightforward C++ code. This generated a dropdown menu with data input and display fields using only plain CSS and HTML, and responded to the CGI-type commands coming back from the browser by adapting the page layout and data.
Recently I found out that it has become more commonplace to build your website with tools like WordPress. When I looked at their themes and templates however, they seemed too fancy to my old-fashioned liking. I therefore decided to hack together this simple, passive website almost directly in CSS and HTML again, using examples from W3Schools, and to host it in github's "Pages".
