Website design, written as values
Type scales, easing curves, palettes and section orders, written as numbers rather than adjectives. Every one of them came from opening the thing and counting, and the thing counted is named so you can check it.

What this blog is about
Alternatives, measured
Every library in this category, taken apart one at a time. What each one contains, what it costs, what it leaves out, and what you still have to decide yourself.
For agenciesWhat is on the market
The whole field in one place, counted rather than ranked on a hunch. Who sells what, at what price, and which of them publishes a number you can check.
For agenciesWhat to charge
Pricing, quoting and scoping websites when the build takes an afternoon. What changes between a five hundred dollar site and a fifteen thousand dollar one, and which of those changes a client can actually see.
For businessesThe expensive look
What makes a site read as expensive, written as values rather than adjectives: the type scale, the spacing, the curve and its duration, and the order the sections run in.
For businessesEvery model, on design
Each new model put on the same job, designing a website, and judged on what it actually produces. Which one to reach for, and the part of the result that does not depend on the model at all.
For businessesBuild it with AI
Three dimensional scenes, scroll driven motion and animated pages, built by handing a model a specification instead of an adjective. What to write, and what comes back.
For businessesPrompts by industry
The design decisions a given kind of site actually needs, written as values. What a restaurant page has to do that a SaaS page does not, and the specification that gets you there.
For businessesHard questions
The questions a prompt library has to answer before anybody pays for one. Why every generated site looks the same, why a paid prompt beats a free component, and what the difference is actually made of.
For businessesInspiration, with the prompt
Examples of the looks and effects people search for, from 3D scenes to scroll animation, each one shown working and paired with the specification that builds it.
