For a platform whose product is a reading.
The twenty-first Quaeris Design release. An ocean-intelligence platform carrying three product pages, published tiers, an about page and a journal with authors and categories — twenty-five routes, with the whole demo live and open to inspection.
Every figure came from astro-design-bathys.pages.dev. Open it and check.

A visual direction for a platform that sells what it measures. Abyssal navy, one sonar cyan, Rajdhani set light and in capitals for the headlines, Inter for reading and JetBrains Mono for every label, with sharp corners, hairlines and corner brackets instead of cards. The home page is a dive: scrolling down the capabilities section descends through five ocean depth zones while one sticky console follows the chapter in view — and the Three.js globe above it is only fetched once the page is idle, on a screen wide enough to show it.
Every route below is generated at build and served as a static file.
Five chapters on the left drive one sticky operator console on the right, each screen following the chapter in view and changing with a sonar wipe. A depth gauge tracks the descent from the epipelagic to the hadal zone, the light fades as the page goes deeper and marine snow drifts past. Under reduced motion the states are static and the console switches by tab.
The hero is a sphere of 2,600 points with fourteen moorings sending sonar pings, drawn in Three.js. A CSS poster stands in its place first, and the library is only requested after the page has loaded and the browser is idle — never on a phone, under reduced motion, with Save-Data or without WebGL. It caps its pixel ratio, pauses off-screen and is disposed when the page is left.
There are no rounded cards and no shadows to hold the layout together. Hairlines in translucent cyan divide the sections, corner brackets frame the header and the console, a depth ruler runs down the hero and every label is set in JetBrains Mono with wide tracking. The same few rules carry the product pages, the pricing tiers and the journal.
Identity, contact form, analytics and newsletter each live in one file under src/config. Out of the box the theme ships no third-party script, sets no cookie and needs no account: the form uses mailto, analytics and the newsletter are off. A provider chosen without its key falls back with a warning in the build instead of shipping broken.
A good-looking screenshot is the beginning. The details help you choose.
Every release lists its page set, from the homepage to the article, author and category templates your project actually needs.
Page list with each releaseDesktop and mobile layouts, navigation, focus states and interactions, checked at the widths people actually use rather than the one the screenshot was taken at.
