Small studio.
Bold output.

Venom is an imaginary studio used here as a placeholder for a real one. The pages are simple on purpose — a reminder that the web can still be a stack of files in a folder.

This entire site is three HTML files, one stylesheet, and a handful of PNGs sitting in an images folder. No build step, no framework, no dependency tree to audit. Open any file in a text editor and understand it in a minute.

Most of what we like about the web came from working this way. A page links to another page. A stylesheet sets a tone. An image gives the eye somewhere to land. That’s most of it.

Principles
we try to keep.

[ 03 / Manifesto ]
[ 01 ]

Small by default

If a page can be 50 KB, it shouldn’t be 5 MB. Weight is a feature, not a side-effect.

[ 02 ]

Readable source

HTML you can View Source on without flinching. Comments where they help. Nothing minified for no reason.

[ 03 ]

Honest links

Pages link to pages. Buttons go where they say they go. No tracking. No surprises. No nonsense.
