Rainbow in the Dark

The code behind this web site.

This entire web site was coded by hand in standard text editor. It's a small site, so that's not a problem. Here you can find out how it was done if you're into that kind of thing. You won't find anything about search engine optimization, or how to track visitors, or any other businessy stuff. Everything here is given away freely.

Still interested? Let's get to it!
