Contact: the message starter offered every topic on both pages. The homepage
now offers automation, a website, or something else; the freelance page a
developer, a reliable app, or something else.
Thread: where it crosses the page above the last sentence it ran too close
to the text. It keeps more distance now, on phones too.
Hero: the line under the hero listed years, working hours and two links,
which says nothing to a client (owner). It now names four things a client
gets: one contact who builds it himself, an offer before anything costs
money, changes by email, servers in Germany.

What happens after a website is live was one vague sentence about a monthly
fee to be agreed. It is now one clear offer in the website case and in the
questions: 89 EUR per month, cancel monthly, the site runs on servers in
Germany, small changes by email are included, no editing system and no login.
The limits are said as plainly as what is included: the first three months
are part of the project price, anything bigger gets a price first, replies
within two working days, no on-call, and the client can leave with everything.
The decision and the parts that are not on the website (the larger variant,
CMS as an exception, how the sites are served) are in the concept.

Opening one question pushed everything below it down. The answers are two or
three lines long, so they are simply shown: two columns on wide screens, one
on phones.

Owner: the homepage is for people who need a website or process automation
and have no app of their own; companies that book by the hour belong on the
freelance page.
Homepage: two cases instead of three (automation, website). The price box
with its steps and figures is replaced by one box: you get an offer before
anything costs money. No rates or weekly prices there any more.
Freelance page: gets the developer case and "make an app reliable" with
their steps and prices, and the section on how working together goes.
Headlines the owner called unclear are rewritten: the automation section
("Your tools do the routine work. Nobody retypes anything.") and the
working section ("How working together goes. Direct and easy to follow.").

Drawings: "How I work" and the step drawings under "How it runs" now use
the same language as the story thread. Systems and people are chips with
pins, connections are tracks with 45 degree bends and solder points, and
what travels is a bit instead of a round dot (circuit.tsx).
Hero: the digits in the background were close to invisible on white. They
are about twice as strong now, and the ones near the pointer light up indigo.
Homepage vs. freelance page: the homepage is for clients who buy a result,
so it shows three cases. The developer case (100 EUR per hour, booked by the
month) and its steps live on the freelance page only.

The rail and the "next, you are wondering" links are gone (owner: flat, and
the question stood twice in a row). The page now reads from top to bottom:
Every chapter opens with one sentence, and the sentences follow each other
as the way of a project: you need someone who builds it, first we find out
what you need, sometimes it is less work by hand, sometimes a meeting, then
it always runs the same way, in the end something runs, a few questions
remain, and it starts with an email.
One line runs down the whole page and draws itself as the visitor scrolls.
Under each sentence it crosses the page, stands a figure on the line
(diamond, hexagon, screen, circle, square, triangle) and continues down the
other side; a glowing dot travels at its head and comes to rest in front of
the last sentence.

The page was a row of sections to scroll past, and a film in one of them did
not change that. It now follows the questions a visitor has, in the order
they come up: who is this, can he do what I need, what does it look like,
what else, how does it go, has he done it, what is open, how do I start.
Each chapter ends by asking the next question as a large link that leads on,
and the next chapter answers it. A rail at the edge shows every chapter as a
station with a dot travelling along it (on phones: a pill with the current
chapter and one tap to the next), and the header names the current question.
Where the visitor is, is pure logic in src/domain/chapters.ts. The scroll
film section and the bridge sentences are removed.

The homepage showed a price list per case, including a day rate. Buyers of
a result need a way to a price, not rates: each case now shows three steps
to an estimate, one line for orientation and a button that opens the
contact message with that topic chosen.
The developer case is booked by the month, not by the day. The day rate is
gone; the freelance page has the booking terms: 100 EUR per hour, fixed
days of the week agreed for one month at a time, an example month, monthly
invoice, two weeks notice to the end of a month.

The homepage was too long and read as a list of sections. The technical
ones (project fit, tools, how a change is secured) move to a page of their
own, /freelance and /en/freelance, linked from the header, the footer and a
pointer on the homepage. The rest is reordered into one story (who, what you
need, examples, how working together goes, results, questions, contact) and
each section opens with a sentence that leads over from the one before.
routes.ts: a page may now have the same name in both languages. Before,
/en/<german name> was always moved to the English name, which for such a
page would have redirected the address onto itself.
Design: list titles such as "Passt gut" are real headings instead of small
grey labels. The automation examples, their description and the run are one
box, so it is clear they belong together. Digits on light backgrounds are
the blue of the panels instead of black. The square corner marks on the
rounded service cards are gone. The years in the career line are readable.

On a phone the homepage was about 29 screens long; it is now about 22.
The desktop layout is unchanged to the pixel.
Lists of equal items (automation notes, project fit, principles, reasons for
a web presentation, by hand vs. automated) are swiped through side by side
(SwipeRow) instead of stacked. The four service cards form a compact 2x2
grid, step lists spell out only the current step, the workflow legend and
the per-project task lists are left out, and sections use less padding.

On a phone the headline was built from 4px cells and the background field
kept its desktop ink, so the digits were specks or not visible at all. The
headline now uses cells of at least 6px there, and the background digits are
larger and stronger below 640px.

The address is the one thing to act on in the contact section, but it was a
plain underlined line next to a glowing message card. A slow sheen now runs
through the letters and a light travels along the underline; on hover the
whole line lights up.

The site now exists in German (at the root, with /impressum and /datenschutz)
and English (/en). A request without a language follows the visitor's choice
from the language switch, then the browser language, then German; the old
English legal addresses move to /en for good.
All visible texts are data in src/content/de.ts and en.ts, so components hold
none of their own. The header carries a DE/EN switch whose bit curtain covers
the page while it is swapped and reopens at the same reading position. Title,
description, canonical, hreflang, Open Graph, the share image, the sitemap and
the structured data are per language. The privacy notice now describes the
cookie that remembers the chosen language.

Dark surfaces now carry light: frames glow along their edge and shed binary
digits (BitAura), dark sections open with a lit seam (BitSeam), the career
path is a line of light and "My work" became a dark stage. Buttons carry a
travelling light and a spot that follows the pointer (BitGlow).

Only the production deployment may be indexed; testing and preview builds
answer with noindex and a closed robots file. The homepage now describes the
person, the services and the FAQ as structured data, and title, description
and the 404 page are written for what people search for.

The visitor picks what they need and a prepared email types itself out; one
press opens it in their own mail app with subject and body filled in. The
mailto link is built by a tested pure function (src/domain/email.ts, spec
first) and only in the browser, so the address still never appears in the
page source.

Section headlines are written out behind a column of digits, mono labels
resolve from binary, the portrait assembles itself from bits, section indexes
rattle and keep one bit alive, cards get corner marks, the header shows the
scroll position as an eight-bit number, pressed links and buttons shed a few
digits, and the work stage leans towards the pointer. All effects respect
reduced motion and leave the content readable without JavaScript.

The link preview used an old template with a blog description. The share
image is now a screenshot of the real hero (scripts/render-share-image.mjs),
served as Open Graph and Twitter image. Title and description come from one
place and are used by the page, the previews and the structured data. Adds an
apple touch icon and removes the old share-image template and its fonts.

The site now presents one freelance developer on one page: hero, introduction,
four typical cases (developer for a product, make an app reliable, automate a
process, a website) with what you get, how it runs and what it costs, a
process automation section, technology and project fit, how I work, two live
references, questions and contact.
- Hero and closing headline are drawn from running binary digits.
- Each case explains its four steps with an animated drawing; the automation
section shows example workflows with work travelling between systems; a
pipeline run shows what a test catches before a release.
- Contact is one email address, kept in parts and assembled in the browser so
it never appears in the page source (src/domain/email.ts, spec first).
- Imprint and privacy pages added.
- The old site (blog, case studies, contact form, fixed-price pages, video
rendering and related scripts) is removed. Its URLs redirect to the homepage.
- The deploy smoke test checks the legal pages and the redirects instead of
the removed case study.
- Dev scripts use docker compose v2.
