Look closer: the new metic. website
New website, new concept: a calm surface, and the construction underneath. Hold down the mouse button, or rest a finger on the page, and you see how it is built.
The cobbler’s children have the worst shoes, and for studios it is their own website. You build for everyone else, and your own has to wait. Not any more.
The concept of this site is the way metic. works: a calm, precise surface on the outside, the construction underneath. Hold down the mouse button, or rest a finger on the page on your phone, and a lens opens that shows the real measurements, grids and values of the elements. None of it is painted on: they are the actual rectangles of the page.
The home page tells the same story as a build: as you scroll, a website assembles itself line by line, from the first guide through grid, type and colour to a line of code. In the end, everything collapses into a single button. And whoever picks up the magnifier finds notes in invisible ink.
Under the hood it is Next.js with Payload as the content management system. Everything you see here can be edited in the CMS, in German and in English: projects, articles, services, packages, CV, contact details. None of it is hard-coded.
