Why "Subtil"?
The Swedish word Subtil (English equivalent: subtle) stems from the Latin word subtilis. Subtilis -e [finely woven , slender, fine]; of senses, etc. [plain, simple, unadorned]. Hence partic. subtiliter, [by fine links or passages]; of judgment, [with discrimination]; of style, [plainly, simply]. It basically sums up the way I think about web design.
