My personal site: essays, short posts and notes, built to be fast, quiet and readable.

The brief
oseiagm.com is for work. samuelosei.com is for everything else: essays like 20 lessons in 20 years, short posts, and notes on beliefs and books. It needed to feel like a well-made book, not a product page.
What I built
- A static Astro site that ships almost no JavaScript, so pages load instantly on any connection
- Three content types, essays, posts and notes, each with its own URL structure and listing
- The pages people forget: a colophon, an accessibility statement, a privacy page and a sitemap
Accessibility
Readable type at a comfortable measure, strong contrast, semantic structure throughout, and an accessibility statement that says exactly what to expect.
