Low-tech

Low-tech Magazine was born in 2007 and has seen minimal changes ever since. Because a website redesign was long overdue — and because we try to practice what we preach — we decided to build a low-tech, self-hosted, and solar-powered version of Low-tech Magazine. The new blog is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content.
Kris De Decker, How to Build a Low-tech Website?

Comment construire un site web low-tech ? Voici quelques recommandations, appliquées pour le site LOW←TECH MAGAZINE, qui permettent de réduire drastiquement le poids et la consommation énergétique d’un site web, à tel point que le site est alimenté par un panneau solaire. Site statique, limitation des images, absence de logo, auto-hébergement, autant de questions techniques qui rejoignent des questions plus stratégiques ou politiques. Le niveau de batterie restant est même indiqué sur le site. Bonus : la version imprimable du site est très bien pensée.

We expect to keep the website on-line during one or two days of bad weather, after which it will go off-line.
