HeaderJONES© vector wordmark; grows to 192px on home, shrinks to 80 on scroll; compact on inner pagesHome opens on the brand.
Bands“What I bring” on white between thick rules; “Let’s talk” on black, name at 28px over the contact listWhite keeps the skills readable; black closes the page.
Case studiesBlack “Case Study #” tag; big title over a thick rule; plain bulletsReads like a document.
Next case studyTall black band joined to the footerEvery case study ends on the way to the next.
CasePage titles in condensed caps; section headings, tile titles and skill titles in sentence caseFirst site to adopt the case rule (1.1.0).
Archive/archive: earlier work under “/ARCHIVE”, tiles numbered like case studies, “Project #” tags; noindex and unlinkedKeeps older work available without diluting the main story.
Takes/takes: short posts; condensed caps title as the hero, sentence-case list titlesBrief thoughts, one page each.
v2 preview/v2/: homepage redesign on 2.0.0 (all Trade Gothic). Numbered work cards with a black tag, four numbered “How I work” steps, About with a facts list, and an endorsements carousel of newsprint quote cards (three across, one on phones, arrows in the eyebrow row); noindex and unlinkedTrying a fuller homepage before it replaces the live one, which stays on 1.0.0.
404A cursing headline (“#$@*&!”) in condensed caps, one line of text, a pink home link; footer pinned to the bottomShared with Art Dept, so lost visitors get the same joke on both sites.
TagsWork-card tags are 3.0.0 white pills on the newsprint cards; the “Case Study #” tag a medium dark pill. Defined in the site’s stylesheet, since the cards are the site’s own markup and most pages load only system.css. Card titles stay black on hover; only “View case” turns magenta. The 3.1.0 white hairline between the image and the newsprint is copied in tooMatches the system’s tag and Card.
ButtonsThe hero’s second button (“Apps I’ve built”) is a newsprint block, black on hover. Promoted to the system as .sys-btn--secondary in 3.4.0, which the site now uses. The site restates its colors because its own copy of .sys-btn loads after patterns.css.An outline felt too light beside the black button; newsprint matches the cards and panels.
