# Portfolio Solo (/templates/portfolio-solo)

A quiet, near-monochrome personal site for a fictional solo designer-developer — small precise type, hairline rules, and one grudging slate accent.

Ilse Renko is a fictional solo designer-developer working alone from Tallinn. The concept spans Home, Work, About, Writing, and Contact — the quietest site in the gallery, art-directed as cool off-white paper, near-black ink, hairline rules, and one low-chroma slate accent, with a single narrow column, numbered sections, and generous empty margins. It opens on a kinetic first-person headline whose closing word lands in italic serif, and every section is composed from blocks in the open registry.

Status: Concept preview · Revision 2
This is a browsable full-site concept. Every section is composed from blocks in the open registry, and one command installs the whole block set — the curated copy shown here is not seeded, so you assemble the pages yourself in the admin.

```bash

## Visual direction

Cool off-white paper, near-black ink, and one low-chroma slate accent used sparingly: hairline rules instead of card chrome, a single narrow column with numbered sections, small precise type, and generous empty margins.
