Writing Set

A small collection of minimalist website templates for writers โ€” quiet typography, sensible defaults, and an editing experience that respects the writing instead of competing with it.

Challenge

Most writer-facing templates either go full Medium clone or full WordPress. The Writing Set needed to feel personal โ€” like a writer's own site, not a platform โ€” 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 โ€” different reading experiences for different kinds of writing โ€” sharing one underlying system.

  2. 02Step

    Build

    Implemented the templates as a clean, no-bloat starter โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” fast, readable, easy to maintain, and personal enough to feel like your own site.
