  1. The challenge

    The site was hosted on a foreign platform the author had no control over. The design and the domain belonged to the platform, and the content could not be moved out of its system.

  2. The solution

    We built a static site with no backend and no database. Each of the four books has its own page, and the site also carries a CV, columns and fifteen press pieces. Orders reach the author directly, with shipping calculated from Pósturinn's own rates.

  3. The outcome
