How this site is made

This site is written by hand, in code, with no templates and no content manager. Each work is a file; each page is generated from those files and published as static HTML.

It loads a single script of its own, four kilobytes: it marks what enters the screen and hides the menu on the way down. The motion is done by the browser with CSS. Fashion enters like a curtain; a Fine Art work does not move: it emerges from its tone, like a print in the developing tray. Anyone who asks their system for less motion sees fades only.

Images are derived when the site is built, at the size each screen needs and never above 1600 pixels. Each one reserves its place before loading, so nothing jumps.

Three languages, each page with its own address in each language. The selector is made of links: no one is redirected by the language of their phone.

Direction and content: Charlie Navarro. Design and code: Charlie Navarro, with Claude, by Anthropic. Typefaces: Cormorant Garamond, Inter and IBM Plex Mono. Built with Astro and published on Cloudflare.
