A writing-led site: a blog with a real page for every post, topics, a back catalogue, and a feed people can follow.

Who it suits

  • Makers and studios who write about the work
  • Consultants building an audience before a pitch
  • Local publications and newsletters
  • Any business whose marketing is actually writing

What it can do

  • Every post is a real page, with its own address, a picture when it is shared, and a place in the list Google reads.
  • Topics, bylines and a year-by-year archive, all generated from the posts themselves.
  • A search that works with JavaScript switched off, because every view has an address.
  • A feed at /feed.xml, so readers can follow in a reader app without handing over an email.
  • Drafts and scheduled posts: write on Sunday, publish on Tuesday.
