Summary

meridian.net.au is a personal web site, created primarily as a means of expression of the things I enjoy, a portfolio of talents, and a resource for various topics.

Start at the summary to read through the various sections about the design goals, influences, and implementation.

Design Goals

From the outset, I wanted a site that followed open, international standards, was sensitive to accessibility issues, fit all different screen sizes, and most importantly, quick to download, even over older modems.

Design Influences

Over the past couple of years I have read many books on web design, graphic design, and information design. This section provides a summary of the major influences on the design of this site.

Implementation

Even with all the best design goals and influences in place, there were problems in actually implementing the desired design. Read more about the history of the development of this site, and how it is done.

Top-level page access statistics.

Knowing who has visited this site is important to me. I like to get an idea who has visited this site, which parts, and from where. This part of my site concentrates on processing the web server log files and generating some interesting graphics that try to show the dynamics of page views.
