Updating my website design, because my previous (also half-finished) design was overly reliant on modern features like flexbox, and I want it to support old browsers (including hopefully netscape).

You can pretty much see what still needs to be updated haha; all the turquoise-ish colours are from the old design:

Using flexbox, CSS grid, semantic elements, and other HTML5/CSS3 tags/properties, is fine as long as you have a fallback for when it is not supported (and the old browser doesn't crash, cough cough), but the old layout didn't have a graceful fallback that could be implemented.

The hard part is making it responsive, but I am doing my best with the progressive enhancement principle
