Oh wow, a website!

Posted on 2024-01-16 by Marvin

     Well, here we are! My very first website! Took me months but it’s finally sort of ready (I keep thinking it’s gonna break in like a week or something… let’s hope not.)

 

     I wanted a space were I could show you not only the pages of Humor Me but also have some neat galleries (the fanworks gallery is my favourite page by far, please go visit it, it’s awesome), an F.A.Q, behind-the-scenes stuff, well organized patreon extras… and a way to help you remember where you were in the story if you don’t (and don’t want to re-read it all).

I mean, I don’t know about you but that’s the n°1 reason I keep dropping comics, because there’s no easy way to find where I stopped. So here you are : chapter summaries, (with and without spoilers), characters descriptions, an easy-to-navigate archive and even a bookmark function! You dreamed it, it’s here ! (let’s calm down.)

 

     And I don’t know, I’m a bit tired of the frenzy that goes with big platforms, algorithms, injunctions to produce and reach numbers… So I wanted to make a chill space just for me and my closest readers, those willing to leave the big platforms to go have a curious look at my little website (or want to be one page in advance of everyone else – except the Patreon cool kidz of course, they’re two pages ahead now!) I have the feeling we’re gonna be like… 3 or something, but it’s fine 😀

 

     Anyways, back to the website! It’s mobile responsive so you can read the pages anywhere, the Friday pages will now be in scrolling format if read from a smartphone or tablet. It’s also fully billingual so if you ever wanted to learn French, now’s the time! You just have to switch the website’s language in the menu to read the comic in French!

And if I ever find the way to sell the physical copies of HM (or some merch like t-shirts) it will be here too so… stay near… just in case ♥

I’d love to hear your feedback, like how you find the navigation, the fonts, design (my brother says the background on the desktop version is too crowded… maybe I’ll change it… someday) etc. And if you find any mistake too (broken links, images, mis-redirections…) please leave a comment as well! I’m aware some pages take a bit of time to load but I’m not sure I’ll manage to fix it :/

And finally, I’d like to thank Steven and Margherita for their kindness and patience guiding little noob me through the maze that is website-making, as well as Leetoo the developper of Toocheke (this very neat webcomic theme) who so kindly worked to tweak his theme so that I could do exactly what I wanted with it.

Hope you’ll like the website!

 

Love ♥

Marvin

    This is a really good website! It’s well coordinated, easy to navigate and pretty 😀 I had a bit of a problem with the videos not playing and not being able to click the menu button when not on the home page (it did change the colour of each one of the bars when pressed though which is cool) and I’m on mobile btw. As a forgetful person I absolutely love the catch up guide so thank you for adding it 🙂

      Thanks for your comment! Sorry to hear about the videos not playing and the menu button, I have no idea where it could come from since it works fine on my phone and you’re the first to tell me about such a glitch… :/ Also “catch-up guide” is a way better way to put it than the “where did I stop” page 😀

    Salut ! Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique site web, c’est tellement agréable de te lire ici 🙂 En plus, aucun tracker, c’est de plus en plus rare ! Bravo pour ce petit bijou, qui rend élégamment honneur à ta BD

      Merci pour ton commentaire ! Pour les trackers j’ai fait tout ce que j’ai pu mais comme je l’indique dans la politique de cookies, certains plugings trackent quelques données quand même pour le bon fonctionnement du site et la sécurité, et si tu cliques sur une des vidéos youtubes intégrées dans le site, c’est comme si tu la visionnais sur youtube et Youtube récoltera tes données de lecture tout pareil que sur leur site… Difficile de se débarasser totallement des cookies pour que le site fonctionne malheureusement !

    The website looks amazing to match your comic! But I’m curious how did you make the website? Did you use a program like Wix to make it yourself? Go through a designer? Code it yourself? Something else?

      I used wordpress and took months to make sense of it (I also had some precious help from the theme’s dev and from some acquaintances who kindly helped me whenever I was stucked). It was really interesting to learn but slightly nightmarish from times to times 🙂

    I love it! I´ve been reading Humor me and following your work for some years now, is really awesome all that you do, I look up to it ovo and this website it’s really amazing!! I wanna check it all and I’m super excited to see all the fanart too. I love it all!!

    1. Marvin

      Thank you! And YES, the fanart section is the best!! 😀

    I am so excited to see how beautiful the new site is! I was slowly removing myself from webtoons, so I am glad to have a place I can read your story!

    Honestyly, I love the background on my laptop. I love how it looks like parallax scrolling because the comic scrolls and the background doesn’t. I personally love web design so seeing this is inspiring. If I ever create something, maybe I should make a website for myself too! The only thing, it is a bit hard to know where your chapters and the pages in them align with the Webtoon chapter. I just reread all of the last chapter because I love rereading and I know there is a bookmark option, but maybe say what page you are on in the apps?
