stuartdobson.ai

My own consultancy site. Eight pages, my Substack posts pulled in so they load instantly and show up on Google, and a cookie banner that asks before it loads anything.

The home page of the website made for stuartdobson.ai

What it is

My own site, for the AI consultancy side of what I do. It is on this page because it is the one project I can show you every part of without asking a client first.

What it does

Eight pages over seventeen custom layouts. The design, the type and the spacing were drawn for it, the same way I draw one for a client.

The blog list is the part worth explaining. The posts live on Substack. Most sites that pull in posts like that fetch them in the visitor’s browser: the page loads, then a moment later the posts pop in, and if Substack is slow or down the visitor gets an empty box. This site collects the posts ahead of time, so they are already there when the page opens. They load instantly, Google can read them, nothing jumps around, and if Substack is having a bad day the posts still show. A quiet background check looks for newer posts afterwards and swaps them in when it finds some. When that check fails it does nothing at all, which is the point.

The cookie banner asks before anything loads, and it means it. Nothing that tracks you runs until you say yes.

Where it stands

Live, and it is the site I keep my own work on. It currently sits on the .net domain while the .ai one is sorted out.
