Build to standard, not to habit.

A definitive technical knowledgebase for modern web engineering. We publish in-depth documentation, standards, and practical guides covering performance, accessibility, architecture, and Answer Engine Optimization.

What's here

The Specifications Library

Written implementation guides for the standards that govern professional web work. Each one covers what the standard requires, how to test whether you've met it, and the failure modes we see most often.

Technical Deep-Dives

Longer investigations into specific problems: what a dependency costs in real load time, how a single WCAG criterion plays out across five real components, why a Lighthouse score moved.

Reference Tables

Quick-lookup material, Core Web Vitals thresholds, WCAG level breakdowns, HTTP caching headers, image format decision trees.

Why we publish this

Web standards are public documents. The W3C specs, the WCAG success criteria, the HTML living standard, anyone can read them. The problem is that they're written for implementers of browsers, not builders of websites, so the gap between 'the spec says X' and 'here is what to do on Tuesday' stays wide.

We close that gap and publish the result. Our work is better when the field's baseline is higher, and we'd rather compete on execution than on hoarding information.
