Webmaster's desk
This whole website is one folder of files. Copy that folder onto any webroot
(Apache, nginx, GitHub Pages, a cheap host, a USB stick) and it runs.
There is no build, no npm, no database. Guestbook entries that should stay
forever are typed into guestbook.html by a human.
Download the whole site as a ZIP
Unzip it. Upload the contents. index.html is the homepage. Done.

Contact the webmaster: replace this sentence withyou@yourdomainwhen you are ready. Until then we can be reached by standing next to the Picasso and coughing.This page is also the “about the site” page. The look is on purpose: OpenPandora-stuck-in-time meets a 2004 car-club homepage. If it starts looking modern, you have gone too far.
