Website adjustment to the new design
When we discuss the image archive and explain features such as searching or creating image collections in more detail, we are always referring to the actual application within prometheus: pandora. However, our online offering consists of two parts, and the second part is our website. A few years ago, we decided against using a large content management system (CMS), which would have to execute a large amount of code and make database queries for every page view. A system like that isn’t necessary for our needs, so it wouldn’t be particularly efficient, and it’s also prone to errors and security vulnerabilities. Instead, we generate the website using Jekyll, a software program written in Ruby. Jekyll allows us to create static HTML web pages using simple text files. The content and layout files are read in and define the text and design.
We have now updated these pages to match the new design as well. The navigation menu is now located in the top right corner as a “hamburger menu”, which you can expand and collapse to view all the menu items that were previously available.
