Web & Front-end 2018

A website for Accurat, a data-driven design firm with offices in Milan and New York. Designed and developed end-to-end.

What it does:
A fully static site built with Jekyll and Tachyons CSS — minimal navigation, bold gradients, and a single monospace typeface (Akkurat Mono). The goal was maximum simplicity with minimum load time, while showcasing Accurat's work in data visualization and geospatial analysis.

How it works:
Jekyll generates static HTML pages at build time, keeping the site fast and maintenance-free. Tachyons provides a functional CSS framework that enforces design consistency without custom stylesheets. All content is managed through Jekyll's templating system.

The hard part:
Implementing an interactive data visualization system within the constraints of a fully static architecture — no backend, no JavaScript framework. Getting complex, dynamic visualizations to work with Jekyll's templating and Tachyons' utility-first approach required finding the right balance between interactivity and static generation.
