Rebuilding this site in code

This site used to be one line of text on a page builder. It’s now a small Astro project: one page, a few short posts written in Markdown, and almost no JavaScript.

Most of the websites we ship at Allsite are custom code now, so it felt odd to keep my own somewhere else. A post is a file in git. I can write it anywhere, review it like any other change, and keep its history.

It’s also fast, mostly because there’s nothing on it. Plain HTML, one stylesheet, no tracking.

Page builders are still the right choice for plenty of teams. For a page that changes a few times a year, code is simpler.
