# artnouveau.in — Art.n Architects website
|
|
|
|
|
|
Static site, rebuilt July 2026 (quiet-luxury editorial design: warm paper,
|
|
|
Cormorant Garamond + Archivo, calm motion). No framework, no CMS — plain
|
|
|
HTML/CSS/JS generated by Node scripts, so it stays maintainable.
|
|
|
The earlier dark "drafting board" design is preserved at git tag `v1-dark-drafting`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Branches
|
|
|
|
|
|
| branch | contents |
|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|
| `main` | backup mirror of the OLD live site (taken 2026-07-05) — do not build from this |
|
|
|
| `development` | design mockups v1–v5 + reference moodboard (`redesign/v1/`) |
|
|
|
| `production` | the new site: sources, tools and generated `dist/` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Layout (production branch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `dist/` — **the complete generated website.** Deploying = uploading this folder.
|
|
|
- `src/data/projects.json` — all 33 projects: titles, categories, blurbs, photo lists. Edit this to change project content.
|
|
|
- `src/data/site.json` — contact details, offices, team list, principal bio.
|
|
|
- `src/data/home.json` — which projects/photos the homepage features.
|
|
|
- `src/css/site.css`, `src/js/site.js` — the design system (shared by every page).
|
|
|
- `img/` — original photos (source of truth; never deleted).
|
|
|
- `docs-photo-issues.md` — photo problems found during review (reshoot checklist).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
npm install --legacy-peer-deps # once per machine
|
|
|
npm run images # only after adding/changing photos (regenerates WebP variants)
|
|
|
node tools/images-extra.js # team photos + OG image
|
|
|
npm run build # regenerate all pages in dist/ (fast, run after any src/ edit)
|
|
|
node tools/serve.js 8123 # preview at http://localhost:8123
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adding a new project
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Put photos in `img/projects/<Name>/`.
|
|
|
2. Add an entry to `src/data/projects.json` (copy an existing one; `images` paths are repo-relative).
|
|
|
3. `npm run images`, then `npm run build`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Remote & backups
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **gitea `development` branch** (gitea.simssoftware.in/SIMS/Artnouveau_website) holds the
|
|
|
complete new site — sources, tools, generated `dist/` and original photos. It was pushed
|
|
|
as a staged snapshot (many ~30 MB commits) because the server rejects uploads over its
|
|
|
size limit (HTTP 413). The local branch mirroring it is `transport2`
|
|
|
(worktree at `..\an-transport`). To publish updates: copy changed files into that
|
|
|
worktree, commit, and `git push origin transport2:refs/heads/development`.
|
|
|
- To push the REAL history (branches `main`/`development`/`production`) the gitea server's
|
|
|
reverse-proxy upload limit must be raised (e.g. nginx `client_max_body_size 512m;`).
|
|
|
- **Local bundle backup**: `C:\SiMS\Artnouveau\Artnouveau_website-backup-2026-07-05.bundle`
|
|
|
(all branches; refresh with `git bundle create <file> --all` after new commits).
|
|
|
- The old dark "drafting board" design: git tag `v1-dark-drafting`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
- All vendor libraries (GSAP, Lenis, three.js, model-viewer, GLightbox) and fonts are
|
|
|
vendored locally in `dist/assets/` — the site has zero external runtime dependencies.
|
|
|
- The 3D section uses a procedural massing model (`src/3d/massing.glb`, generated by
|
|
|
`tools/make-glb.js`). Replace with a real GLB export from SketchUp/Revit when available.
|
|
|
- Old live-site URLs (e.g. `portfolio Achayans cafe.html`) redirect to the new clean URLs
|
|
|
via stub pages in `dist/`.
|
|
|
- Tender system (tender.artnouveau.in) is separate — this site only links to it.
