Colophon
How this siteis built.
The colophon. Every choice on this page, stated plainly, because a site that hides how it is made is making a decision you should know about.
This site is built and run by the same studio that hosts your stuff, on the same kind of machine, under the same rules. Nothing below is a claim to make; it is a list of what is actually true about the pages you are reading.
01 · Stack
- Next.js 16App Router, mostly static. The page you are on is prerendered at build time.
- React 19Server components do the heavy lifting; the browser only receives what moves.
- TypeScriptAcross the server, the client, and the tests. No untyped escape hatches.
- Tailwind CSS v4Utility classes in the markup, not a stylesheet you have to hunt through.
02 · Type
- ArchivoThe display face. It carries a width axis, so headlines can widen without loading a second font.
- IBM Plex MonoFor anything that is a number, an address, or a label. Tabular figures, so columns hold still.
03 · Motion
- Content is acquired, not dropped in: a mask sweeps across and the text is already there.
- Figures settle with a small overshoot, like a needle finding its mark.
- Lines draw themselves. Nothing floats up from the bottom, because that reads as a template.
- Turn on reduced motion and every one of these simply does not happen.
04 · Performance
- No CDN, no analytics, no third-party scripts, no third-party fonts.
- Both typefaces are self-hosted at build time, so loading a page makes no request to anyone but us.
- The one 3D element is loaded only if your browser can run it, and never on a phone.
- Everything is served over TLS from a single node, with the certificates renewed by a scheduler.
05 · Accessibility
- WCAG 2.2 AA is the target, and the statement lists what is still unproven.
- A skip link, real focus states, and a keyboard path through everything that is interactive.
- No accessibility overlay widget. There never will be one.
06 · Hosting
- The same node the rest of the site points at: OVHcloud RBX9, Gravelines, France.
- nginx in front, TLS renewed automatically, encrypted backups held in Strasbourg.
Nothing hidden.
If a choice on this page is wrong, or the build changes, this page changes with it. A colophon that goes stale is worse than none, so it is kept current.
