Writing Set

Challenge

Most writer-facing templates either go full Medium clone or full WordPress. The Writing Set needed to feel personal — like a writer's own site, not a platform — while being easy enough for non-developers to use, edit, and maintain over time.

Process

1. 01Step

   Templates

   Designed a handful of distinct typographic approaches — different reading experiences for different kinds of writing — sharing one underlying system.

2. 02Step

   Build

   Implemented the templates as a clean, no-bloat starter — fast page weights, accessible typography, and a content model simple enough to edit without docs.

3. 03Step

   Care details

   Spent the last 20% on the parts most starters skip — typesetting niceties, focus states, dark mode that actually reads, archive pages that don't feel like an afterthought.

Outcome

A small, careful set of writer templates that quietly does the work — fast, readable, easy to maintain, and personal enough to feel like your own site.
