Which Websites posts are in this archive?

A slim press folder. Thesis: BUILD EPK BOOKERS SCAN THIRTY. Websites

Build the EPK Bookers Can Scan in Thirty Seconds

Build an EPK bookers can scan in thirty seconds: name, short bio, listen links, downloadable assets, and booking contact above the fold. Keep fans elsewhere.

A small stack of coins. Thesis: ACCESSIBILITY AS CRAFT COMPLIANCE THEATER. Websites

Accessibility as Craft, Not Compliance Theater

Accessible marketing websites treat keyboard, contrast, media, and motion as craft. Use WCAG 2.2 AA as the floor — not a checkbox costume on brand cinema.

16 MIN
A bound folio. Thesis: CASE STUDY PAGES SELL NEXT. Websites

Case Study Pages That Sell the Next Project

A case study sells the next project when it shows problem, decisions, honest proof, and a CTA for that class of work — not a gallery of pretty screenshots.

Amber node beads on a dark rail. Thesis: PICK ONE SOURCE TRUTH TOUR. Websites

Pick One Source of Truth for Tour Dates — Then Let Everything Else Read It

Pick one source of truth for tour dates — Bandsintown or Songkick — then let your site and platforms read it so managers update once only. Make that the rule.

22 MIN
A small stack of coins. Thesis: LAUNCH CHECKLISTS BRAND SITES DNS. Websites

Launch Checklists for Brand Sites: DNS to Analytics Without Drama

Tick DNS, SSL, redirects, analytics, forms, 404, and OG on the live production domain before you announce — named owners, named rollback, no Friday 6pm heroics.

A cyan-rimmed object on black steel. Thesis: MOST SMALL BUSINESS SITES NEED. Websites

Most Small Business Sites Need Fewer Pages — and Clearer Jobs

Inventory website pages by the job a visitor must finish — not a magic number. Most small-business sites stay short once each URL earns its keep cleanly.

A small text-file card with no glyphs. Thesis: PRICING PAGES STUDIOS CLARITY WITHOUT. Websites

Pricing Pages for Studios: Clarity Without Racing to the Bottom

Studio pricing pages should publish package jobs, boundaries, and cost drivers so buyers self-qualify — without hiding fees or racing marketplace templates.

14 MIN
A small stack of coins. Thesis: CUSTOM SITE WORTH TEMPLATE CAP. Websites

A Custom Site Is Worth It When the Template Cap Is Costing You Deals

Custom is worth it when templates cap conversion, differentiation, or ownership — not because custom is fashionable. Here’s the stage-based threshold test.

A locked drawer. Thesis: IF T LEAVE CLEANLY DON. Websites

If You Can’t Leave Cleanly, You Don’t Own the Site

If domain, hosting, code, CMS, DNS, and analytics aren’t in your accounts, you don’t own the site — you only rent access until your designer disappears.

20 MIN
A small stack of coins. Thesis: CUSTOM SITES COST FIVE FIGURES. Websites

Custom Sites Cost Five Figures Because You’re Buying a System, Not a Template Login

Five figures funds strategy, design, build, and a clean exit — not a $20 builder login. Compare three-year cost of ownership, not the month-one sticker.
