14 sites, different jobs, same rule: pick the lightest thing that does the work. The versions that lost live on the design process page.

Stack

Production

The ones that carry a business or a household. Each is a repo, each deploys on push.

quickitprojects.com

The consulting front door. Intake form posts to n8n, which files it in Twenty CRM. Redesigned September 2026.

madeformeai.com
madeformeai.com React2026

Product site for the hosted AI workspace. Rebuilt September 2026 from a Codex playground: cream paper, illustrated Dustin at his desk, the North Star coach behind sign-in. Signup flows through Authentik.

allemanit.com
allemanit.com Astro2026

This site. Content collections for projects and the blog, a daily page that feeds itself, and this lab.

Clients, family and friends

Built for someone else. Some are a marketing page, some have a whole backend behind them.

boltbrow.madeformeai.com

Redesign for a five-artist permanent makeup studio in Philadelphia. Booking, artists, prep and aftercare, all of it phone-first.

skate-map.com
skate-map.com Static2026

A world map of skate crews, night skates and rinks. 900-plus communities in 48 countries, seeded from real links only.

allemanchildcare.com

A licensed in-home childcare in Holt, Michigan. Warm, hand-drawn, built to be read on a parent's phone.

Personal and experiments

Where the weird ideas go. A few retired, a few still up.

almnjoy.dev
almnjoy.dev Static2025

A Windows 98 desktop as a personal site. Windows open, the Start menu works.

free.quickitprojects.com

The free site campaign. Google Places finds Chicago shops with no real website, a generator builds each one a site, a card with a QR goes through the door. 109 built, 20 doors walked.

Also in the lab: a generator that produced over a hundred preview sites for Chicago small businesses, printed on cards and walked door to door. Those stay private until a shop says yes.
