impression direction

My online magazine was modeled after another online magazine that I found. I liked the simplicity, the focus on graphics and the lack of ads.
Passeig de Gracia

I looked at several different ways to start doing responsive web design. There are many base kits that let you build your own site on top of code that has a fluid grid, fluid images and media queries. After giving SimpleGrid a try, I decided that I wanted something a little different. I went with using Skeleton as a base for my website.
