The build
My personal site, rebuilt from WordPress. The homepage tells the story as a timeline: a headline that rolls through who I am, a trail of photos, and the chapters from childhood to now.
Behind it sit the pages that were already there and still earn their place: the library, the research, the podcast and the services, now in one dark look.
How it works
A static Next.js site on Vercel, DNS and inbound mail on Cloudflare, sending on Resend.
What it does for them
A visitor meets the person before the pitch, and the writing, research and offers are one click away. Hosting went from USD 95.88 a year to USD 10.46.

The Hostinger exit
WordPress to a static Next.js site on Vercel, with DNS and mail on Cloudflare and sending on Resend. Four vendors, moved in order, for USD 10.46 a year instead of USD 95.88.
My own site, so the one-day timeline is not a delivery estimate.
