03 Development

Hand-built, quick on a cheap phone, and readable with JavaScript off.

We write the code ourselves, so the site does only what it needs to. Pages are rendered as plain HTML first, the effects arrive after, and the budget for every kilobyte is checked by the build, not by hope.

What you get

  • Marketing sites and web apps

    Static or server-rendered, built with tools chosen for the job, not for the CV.

  • Content management

    A CMS your team can actually use, set up with the fields your pages need and nothing more.

  • Accessibility

    Keyboard use, screen readers, contrast and reduced motion, built to WCAG 2.2 AA and tested.

  • Performance budgets

    Size limits for scripts, styles and images that fail the build when someone breaks them.

Spring physics, live

Change stiffness and damping. The code rewrites itself and the square obeys it.

Container queries
One card, three layouts, chosen by the space it gets. No JavaScript decides it.
Spring collection
Same markup at every width. The layout comes from the space it's given.

We can't show you borrowed case studies, so here are numbers instead. They come from your browser's own performance APIs while you read, and they'll change if you reload.
Inspect mode lays the grid, the type settings and every animation curve over the page itself.

Leaf 3 of 4
Development is the third leaf. Each one can be booked on its own, but the work goes furthest when all four grow together.
Questions people ask
Which stack do you use?
This site runs on Astro, GSAP and three.js. For yours we pick what fits the content, the team that will maintain it and the hosting you already pay for.
Will the effects slow the site down?
Not if they're budgeted. Here the 3D engine only loads after the page is ready, and it stays off on devices that ask for less motion or less data.
Do you hand over the code?
Yes. It lives in your repository with a README that explains how to run it, change it and deploy it.
