For an agency whose own site is the first deliverable.
The twenty-fifth Quaeris Design release. An independent web agency carrying four disciplines, three case studies, a four-step method, three published plans, a studio page with team and timeline, and a journal with authors and categories — twenty-seven indexable routes, with the whole demo live and open to inspection.
Every figure came from astro-design-synora.pages.dev. Open it and check.

A visual direction for an independent web agency that wants its own site to read as proof of the craft. Cream paper, one ink and one lime accent, Archivo condensed and set heavy in capitals at poster scale, IBM Plex Mono for every label, and hairline rules with hard offset shadows in place of soft cards. The one decision is to show the construction: the hero draws its own grid, baselines and measurements over the real headline, annotated in mono, so the layout presents itself as engineered rather than decorated.
Every route below is generated at build and served as a static file.
Behind the headline, a canvas traces the grid, the baselines and the column the layout actually uses, measured on the rendered type, and annotates them in mono — line, size, width, column — like a figure in a type specimen. It loads after the page, stays off the critical path, and is skipped entirely under reduced motion, where a lime wash in CSS stands in for it.
Archivo is loaded with its width axis, so a single family covers the whole range: compressed to 78 per cent for chapter numerals and the big figures, 82 for the hero, widened to 118 for spaced labels. One line in each headline is set in outline rather than solid, and every chapter carries an outlined numeral behind it — the typographic accent, with no second display face.
Lime is the only saturated colour: buttons, the small markers in the hero, the active year on the timeline. Where it has to be read as text on cream it turns to a deep fern that keeps its contrast. Everything else is ink and hairlines, and a button answers hover with a hard offset shadow rather than a glow. The journal categories are desaturated into the paper family, so a topic never reads as a second accent.
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, and the consent bar appears only for a tool that sets cookies.
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.
