How this site is made
If I preach small surface area, my website should have one too. This page is the receipt.
01BILL OF MATERIALS
| Component | Choice |
|---|---|
| Markup | Hand-written HTML. No framework, no components, no hydration. |
| Styling | One CSS file. Custom properties, grid, and restraint. |
| JavaScript | ~3 KB of vanilla JS for the clock, nav, and reveal animations. The site works fine without it. |
| Build step | None. What's in the repository is what's on the wire. |
| Type | Inter & JetBrains Mono. |
| Hosting | Netlify: static files on a CDN, plus their form handling. |
| Analytics | Simple Analytics, naturally. No cookies, no personal data. I eat my own cooking. |
| Cookies | Zero. Which is why there's no banner asking you about them. |
02DESIGN NOTES
The visual language borrows from engineering documents: spec sheets, registries, terminal output. Because that's what a holding company actually is. Infrastructure with a filing system.
The recurring Fe / 26 mark is iron's entry in the periodic table. Element 26: abundant, unglamorous, structurally indispensable. The rust-orange accent is what iron does when you leave it outside for twenty years. Roughly my holding period.
The site respects reduced-motion preferences, ships no tracking cookies, and should render on hardware old enough to vote.
Performance budget
Every page targets: no client-side framework, CSS under 20 KB, JS under 5 KB, and a first paint fast enough that you never see a spinner, because I never built one.
