Project purpose

This project provides a clean, readable, and maintainable HTML / CSS structure
to quickly start a serious, well-structured, and scalable website.

It is not a fixed graphical theme,
but a deliberately minimal technical base, designed to be:

• easy to understand
• easy to customize
• extensible without unnecessary complexity
• maintainable over the long term

---

Foundation content

The project includes, among other things:

• Multiple complete and structured HTML pages
• A clear and consistent file architecture
• Organized, commented, and modular CSS
• A responsive layout adapted to desktop, tablet, and mobile screens
• A heading hierarchy following SEO best practices
• ARIA attributes and an accessible structure
• A ready-to-use robots.txt
• A functional sitemap.xml
• Code comments serving as customization markers
• Usage documentation
• A clear usage license

No external dependencies are required.

---

Included pages

The foundation notably includes the following pages:

• Home
• About
• Approach
• Resources
• Links
• Contact
• Terms of use
• Legal notice
• Privacy policy

Each page includes:

• dedicated SEO tags
• a consistent structure
• generic content ready to be adapted

---

Accessibility

Special attention has been paid to accessibility:

• Proper semantic hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3)
• HTML structure readable by screen readers
• Visually hidden text (visually-hidden) when relevant
• ARIA attributes used sparingly and appropriately

This foundation provides a solid base for projects
that aim to integrate accessibility from the design stage.

---

SEO

The project is optimized for search engine visibility:

• title and meta description tags per page
• Open Graph and Twitter Cards
• Canonical URLs
• Sitemap
• Robots.txt

The provided content is intentionally generic
and must be customized before any production deployment.

---

Quick customization

To adapt the site to your project:

Replace the logo in assets/img/
Edit the text content in the HTML files
Adjust colors in :root
Extend or adapt the existing CSS
Add JavaScript if needed

The CSS can be:

embedded directly into the pages
or kept in assets/css/style.css

The comments included in the code act as markers
and make onboarding easier.
