How I built this Website?

Skeleton?

In order to build this website and easily make it responsive I used a very simple and handy framework called Skeleton. Skeleton is available at getskeleton.com. There you will find the major classes available as well as (my favorite feature) a very handy column grid system, with the less criptic semantic I've found!

  <!-- .container is main centered wrapper -->
  <div class="container">
  <!-- columns should be the immediate child of a .row -->
    <div class="row">
      <div class="one column">One</div>
      <div class="eleven columns">Eleven</div>
    </div>

    <!-- just use a number and class 'column' or 'columns' -->
    <div class="row">
      <div class="two columns">Two</div>
      <div class="ten columns">Ten</div>
    </div>

    <!-- there are a few shorthand columns widths as well -->
    <div class="row">
      <div class="one-third column">1/3</div>
      <div class="two-thirds column">2/3</div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
      <div class="one-half column">1/2</div>
      <div class="one-half column">1/2</div>
    </div>

  </div>

In order to edit it fast I also use a markdown note taking app for mac named Bear which I found very handy at the lab and also allows me to copy paste directly to html maintaining the classes I used on markdown.
