Our story
How this workshop came together
A house that publishes its own titles and builds sites for others practises the same trade twice, and the second run benefits from the first. Here is how the workshop came together, with the dates and addresses that let you check.
Chronology
What happened
-
2026
The first titles
Historiata, Tescols, Anne-Marie Python, Nouyena. Four unrelated subjects, published from the same workshop. The lack of relation is the point: what they share is not a theme, it is a way of building.
-
The common workshop
The parts that repeated from one title to the next, article layout, language handling, images, were pulled out of the sites and became workshop parts. A fix written once now benefits every title, including those that did not exist when it was written.
-
Multilingual, written
Publishing one title in several languages stops being a separate project and becomes another workshop part. With one rule that is not up for negotiation: each language is written, the first one is not run through a machine. A page translated too quickly does not add to the original, it competes with it, and search engines end up keeping only one of the two.
-
The house declares itself
This site opens. A business that takes payment must be identifiable by whoever pays it, and a published title must be able to say who publishes it. That is why the page you are reading exists, and why another one explains the "SCHEIDEGGER WEB" line on a bank statement.
Constants
What has not moved
- A site belongs to whoever commissioned it. The domain name is in their name, the content can be exported, and leaving does not require our permission.
- No trackers, no ad network, no typeface loaded from a third party. That is not a moral stance, it is what makes it possible to show no consent banner and to keep a privacy page that tells the truth.
- What we cannot do, we say. The list is published on the house page, and it is more useful than a skills catalogue in which everything appears.
What comes next
The workshop keeps publishing its own titles, because that is where the parts later used on clients’ sites get tested. The build notes are in the journal, the titles in the catalogue, and the way we work on the trade page.
