Designing a Calm Front Door for AI Builder Lab

A personal site that lasts should solve publishing first, not self-promotion first.
Why the first version must stay small
If blog pages, tool pages, About, SEO, and localization are not steady yet, adding more systems only expands the maintenance surface.
What V1 should optimize for
- File-driven content
- Clear routing
- Stable page templates
- Good reading rhythm
- Easy iteration later
Closing thought
The real test of V1 is not whether it looks full. It is whether it can carry your ongoing work.
