Pros and cons of a simple webpage

Micro entry

I designed the webpage in a way that's easy to manage, even though the webpage is simple it brings a lot of cons with that philosophy.

While I kept the design simple for easy management, that minimalism hides some clever technical work. By using an automatically updating iframe for the main content, I've managed to keep the music player and scrolling background running perfectly in sync. It skips the typical 'page load' stutter you see on most sites, creating a smooth, uninterrupted flow where you never actually have to leave the main page.

While that looks convenient, I have little room to work with inside the iframe, so it's impossible to add like a image next to the main content unless everything gets squished so to say. The iframe has a fixed width of 980px, which is the width of the main content everything fits into. It's possible but that would require me to go through every css file and add an entry about the width, which is now measured in percentages, but that would make mobile experiences (not recomended btw) feel worse because you can now scoll intro emptiness to the right.

The site like any other, is static. Which is why I kept the design modular and easy to maintain. I'm going to break a major rule I set for myself with this page and that is shrines that I'll make in the future. The shrines will be their own subpage in the site breaking away from the main website in the style of the content that I love.

What shrines will I make?

Great question! I have some ideas in mind.
Expect to see a Rain World shrine in the future, I'm planning to make it in the game's own artstyle, description, fun facts and ofcourse: animations!
It's a challenge that I'm setting up for myself and to show my love for the game. Maybe I might add some own artwork ;]
