Title: ricksato.ca — my own practice site
Description: My own consulting site, and a working sample of the service: designed and built by me working with Claude — AI-assisted development, hand-finished, structured around case studies rather than sales copy. Built over a weekend, launched October 2026. HTML · GitHub · Netlify.

End of an era.
After 3 good years on Framer, we moved
@designme to our own stack.
Framer got us far, and I'd still recommend it for a lot of teams.
But the more we grew, the more we needed control: over the code, structure and speed of testing and shipping new things.
So, we rebuilt everything from scratch in Astro.
It's the same setup we now build for our clients (which is exactly why we had to run our own site on it first).
Really proud of the team and how fast we're moving now.

Big move! Framer is great for speed, but having full control over the stack opens up so many possibilities.
Beautiful Grid effect that follows your cursor
Interactive footer built in Framer
Astergrid — a landing page for an engineering firm that takes solar, wind and storage projects from permit to first power. Here is how it scrolls.
The hero comes in softly, services open on click, projects sit in big photographs, the statement lights up word by word, numbers count up with their bars, and the process photo changes with each step. It ends on a glass contact form over an aerial shot.
