Hello, little question: if the coockie banner is just included by default, is it even needed for your website? Otherwise I would gladly leave it out.

Hi guest31, as we're using some cookies for processing, so it's required by EU law

have you stumbled upon some problems with banner layout?
09:56
guest31
No, I first am converting the site into static html
09:57
guest31
And theres an insane amount of css imports for such a site as yours haha. It is quite bloated. I am now downloading all css files and looking what I can delete from it via devtools
09:59
guest31
Because if I dont do it, I cant accurately see what changes can be made in those css files. Its not fast and maybe also not efficient, as I could also just remake it, but I have the feeling that the current approach is somewhat a little more accurate...

guest31
In the sense that i can cross out any unused css while trying to keep it original.

content management systems are very good at bloating css and co :)

guest31 the current plan is to create a completely new website with new layout and only up to date relevant information that is much easier to maintain, no cms just static html generated from some shared repository (maybe github)

and to "archive" the current "old" website in a way that it can still be used and accessed but as static html rather than dynamic CMS, so we can stop maintaining it
10:16
se6astian
for both projects we have not really gotten far as nbody has time to deal with it currently so your help is greatly appreciated
10:16
se6astian
the static archive will not use cookies though so that problem is probably of no concern anymore then
10:17
guest31
Okay so archiving is the first focus? Because if the website is revamped, it might be difficult to archive the old one right?
10:24
guest31
And im glad I can help, youre welcome :)

what do you use for conversion, some static site generator or manually via some framework?

would suggest some SSG, like hugo or gatsby, otherwise it can get pretty tedious, also if a need arises for custom web components then you will need proper structure nevertheless -> https://jamstack.org/generators/

there are hundreds of subpages and articles, I dont think you want to manually download them all and fit them together...#
