Starting the build

For a long time I've been using WordPress for the Oikos Digital website. But I wanted to try some new things out. So here is the start of in-public work on the new Oikos Digital site.

I'm partly "launching" this because my business's focus has changed slightly and I want that reflected here. But also this new site is just way better than the old one for lots of reasons.

This site is not complete, but from now on it will be the main Oikos site, and work will continue on it in public and I'll write up progress, or maybe make some videos as I go.

I hope you'll follow along with developments.

Status

Where am I with the build? Well the general strucutre and, importantly, the homepage is all pretty much there I think.

Things that need doing are:

• Copying content from the old site over and updating it
• Writing some new content
• Working on the Articles listing page
• Some styling updates
• Some SEO and social media additions (OpenGraph tags, Sitemaps)

Technology

This site is using:

• the Beta of version 3 of the Statamic content-management system (see the v3 docs for more details)
• TailwindCSS
• AlpineJS
