Colophon

Static HTML, no build step, no database, no tracking. The site is the file tree.

Stack

  • Hand-rolled HTML + CSS. No framework.
  • Hosted on the same VPS as jaymargalus.com, served by nginx.
  • Deployed by rsync from ~/Desktop/basecase/margalus-com/.

Design grammar

  • Type: Inter Tight (display), Inter (body), IBM Plex Mono (metadata).
  • Color: ink #0B0B0F, paper #FAFAF7, accent #2F6DF6, signal #FF5A0A.
  • Layout: 80 rem canvas, marginalia rail on detail pages, mono lab-numerals on every section.
  • Shared tokens with jaymargalus.com's Field-Lab Modernism theme — same household, same hand.

Privacy

  • No analytics, no cookies, no third-party trackers.
  • Kid pages use first names only. No photographs of the children appear anywhere on the site.
  • Kid pages carry a noindex meta tag — reachable by direct link but not surfaced by search engines.

What this is not

  • Not a CV. The W&L faculty page and LinkedIn cover that.
  • Not a second blog for Jay. jaymargalus.com is the lab notebook.
  • Not a sales page for Fourfold. fourfold.co is the studio site.

Editing

Whoever has something pushes it. Empty months stay empty. The hub survives quiet seasons by design.
