19 As Nicos said, if the aesthetic appearance is important for your project's
20 users then you would be better off setting up your own website. There you can
21 play not only with theming it using CSS, but also with the structure, layout
22 and functionality, without any restrictions from what github offers. A word
23 of warning though ... it can become a full time job both tweaking it and
24 protecting from attacks. The latter is more or less a given if you are
25 setting up a dynamic content website, using php or similar with a database
26 back end. Static pages present less of a challenge.
