How this site was built

A one-person portfolio drafted, designed, and shipped in hours rather than weeks — together with Claude Code, deployed on the same Linux box that runs my mail and storage. Nothing here is a third-party template; the parts are listed below.

Stack

Astro 5 — static site generator, Content Collections + MDX for case studies, View Transitions on.
TypeScript, strict.
Pagefind for client-side search — index built at deploy time, no backend.
nginx + Let's Encrypt on the same Linux server (ss) that runs blog, webmail, and Nextcloud. Node 22 LTS for builds.

Type

Iosevka (Open Font License) — primary monospace, regular and italic.
Inter (Open Font License) — long-form body, regular and medium.
Departure Mono (Open Font License, by Helena Zhang) — display accent only, used sparingly.

All three are self-hosted under /fonts/, Latin-subset, woff2, font-display: optional. No third-party CDN.

Colour

Dark default #0A0A0A on #EDEDED, with an amber #FFB000 accent. A Nordic light mode (#F4F1EB / #111 / #FFB000) toggles via the header — the site honours prefers-color-scheme only for the meta theme colour, not for the page itself; the brief asked for dark-first with a manual switch.

Languages

English-first with a Bokmål mirror at /no/. Norwegian browsers land on /no/ via an Accept-Language redirect at the nginx layer; a lang cookie set by the toggle wins over that default. Every case study and the home page have full hreflang alternates.

Privacy

No third-party analytics, no marketing cookies, no embedded social widgets. The only cookie set by this site is the lang preference. Server-side request logs roll over after fourteen days and are read for security only.

AI-assisted authoring

Structure, copy, and code were written in collaboration with Claude Code (Anthropic). The operator steers by direction and feedback — not by line-by-line review. So what's published is honestly what the collaboration produced, with corrections made when something is wrong, rather than as a gate before publishing. Spot a factual error? drift@solheimsolutions.no. The footer line "Built with Astro, Claude Code, and a Caddy of opinions" is meant as honest disclosure, not branding.

What isn't here

Stock photography — every visual is hand-drawn, a real screenshot, or nothing.
A blog — there's an RSS placeholder, but no posts until there's something worth saying.
A newsletter or contact form — mailto: at B2B scale is enough.
Tracking scripts of any kind.
