The idea of ditching both my web hosting provider and Drupal has been at the back of my mind for a few months.

Bear with me. Since about 2011 I have been maintaining this website using the cheapest hosting tier my hosting offers – At least it was the cheapest at the time I got it. They call it The Essential and it costs over 300 bucks for 2 years. It is not a lot, but it is definitely too much for my purposes of hosting a small blog where I provide occasional updates on my projects, my portfolio and my CV.

Also, loading times are horribly long and the complexity of managing the Drupal installation (upgrades/updates) and also the database takes way too much of my time. Only the thought of updating to Drupal 8 sends shivers down my spine and ultimately got me searching for better options.

03/2019 - This post is long outdated, as the design I’ve been using for years is responsive and there’s no need anymore for mobile-specific verisons

Finally the mobile version of this site is up and ready to go. It features most of the characteristics of the full site and also most of the functionality. Hope you find it useful when browsing from your handheld devices. Controls to switch forth and back between versions are provided. If you want, give it a try:
