Change Log:


2018.05.03.
  • The entire website has been updated, using at least the following tools: I considered alternatives such as Bootstrap (as an alternative to Foundation), but Foundation appears to offer better flexibility for customising the pages.
  • The image carousel chosen for displaying pictures is Owl Carousel 2 (version 2.2.1). Alternatives considered included HighslideJS and Slick Carousel.
  • The tool selected for displaying maps is GMaps (version 0.4.25). An alternative considered was Maplace.js.

  • Google is changing the terms of use for its Google Maps service and now requires credit card details even for free use. So I’ve replaced GMaps with Leaflet (version 1.3.1), and I'm now loading maps from genuinely free service providers.
    You can choose the map base layer from the  Settings.
    I'll continue to improve the map features as time allows, but the basic functions seem to be working already, so I'm putting the site back online.
