Personal blog · Build + hosting
My own writing platform, and the workshop for everything else.
A blog I write and host myself. It is also where I try new tooling, page structures and hosting setups before any of it goes near a client's site.

Why it exists
Somewhere to write, and somewhere to experiment
I wanted a place to write about the small, practical side of getting a business online — and a site I could break safely. Both things are the same site.
What it does
Fast pages, readable type, no clutter
Articles load in well under a second, read comfortably on a phone, and carry no cookie banners or trackers. The whole thing is built the way I'd build a client's site, just with fewer meetings.
Why it matters to you
Nothing untested reaches your website
New hosting configurations, backup routines and page structures run here first. By the time a client's site uses something, I've already lived with it.

If I wouldn't run it on my own site, I'm not putting it on yours.
