The problem
Many developer portfolios feel generic or overly technical. The challenge was to create a studio website that feels calm, confident, and professional — without relying on frameworks or heavy animations.
The solution
The Mate Code Studio website uses an editorial layout with strong typography, generous spacing, and subtle motion. The structure was designed first, then content was written to fit the rhythm — not the other way around.
Key features
- Editorial-style homepage with clear narrative flow
- Consistent design system (colors, spacing, typography)
- Case-study driven projects section
- Reusable layout across pages
- Fast load times (no JS frameworks)
- Designed for long-term content growth
Architecture
The site is structured as a modular static system. Each page shares layout, navigation, and components, making it easy to add new pages or case studies without duplication.
Structure
- index.html
- projects.html
- services.html
- contact.html
- case-studies/
Design system
- Charcoal & Copper palette
- Typography scale
- Shared components
- Motion tokens
Outcome
A studio website that feels intentional and professional. It positions Mate Code Studio as a serious engineering partner, not a generic freelance profile.
