Welcome — this is the homepage introduction. Recent posts appear below.

A few words about me and this blog.

Hello world — this is my first post.

What it looks like #

The homepage shows the introduction text and a list of recent posts (newest first). The header uses /images/home.jpg as a hero, or a black background if the image is absent. Each post shows its reading time.

Sample content #

+++

We design and build small, fast websites. Get in touch to start a project.
+++
title = "Services"
+++

What we offer and how we work.
+++

+++

Who we are.

What it looks like #

The homepage shows only the introduction and hero image — no post list, because show_recent_posts is false. The menu links the standalone pages.
