ADORE LLC
ANTI-DEFAULT STUDIO / SANTA CRUZ

We design and build web products

Built,
not
generated.

Adore LLC takes on a few builds at a time and ships each one to a store we control at the edge. This page is the proof: one static file, served from /srv/adore-static behind Caddy, with copy written to a public field manual.

Served from Hetzner
edge

Static file, no framework payload. One request. Rules source-linked to notlikeus.art.

How we decide

What ships, and why

Four rules run every build. Each one has a source in the field manual. None of them are decoration.

01

Start from the reader and the task

The page serves whoever reads it next. Layout follows the work, not a template, and the audience is named before anything else.

02

Cut what the tool defaults to

Purple gradients, glass panels, rounded cards on everything, Inter by reflex, the centered hero, three equal columns. Each is removed unless the brand demands it.

03

Write the claim, not the slogan

No throat-clearing, no "not X but Y" lines, no em dashes. A sentence that could sit on any other product's page gets specifics or gets cut.

04

Show real states

Loading, empty, error. We do not fake a dashboard to make thin content look finished.

Shipped

Three builds, 2026

The links below are the live artifacts, not screenshots. Case studies are in the deck.

Contact

Tell us the job

Who is the page for and what must it do. We reply to the work, not the template.

Build with a real edge behind it.

Send the brief and we send back a scope, a timeline, and the first screen, not a proposal deck. If the work could belong to any other product after the logo comes off, we will tell you before you pay.
