Building a durable personal site
A small static publishing home designed to be easy to own, update, and reshape over time.
Problem
Create a professional home for writing and selected work without turning it into a marketing system or a maintenance project.
Constraints
The site needed to be fast, accessible, inexpensive to host, and entirely editable in Git. It also needed to avoid a database, CMS, client-side application code, and details that should not be published about employers or clients.
Approach
The site uses Astro to build static pages from Markdown content. Its visual system is one stylesheet, shared page chrome, and a small number of templates. Metadata, an RSS feed, and a sitemap are generated at build time.
Outcome
The result is a focused foundation for publishing. New writing or work entries are files, and the visual treatment can evolve without changing the content model or deployment shape.
