Colophon
“A colophon is a page or section (typically in a footer) of a site that describes how the site is made, with what tools, supporting what technologies, and often published on personal sites at a top level /colophon page.”
My go-to site builder has always been Squarespace since 2004. Heck, I even wrote a couple of books about Squarespace.
For those who are curious, below is everything I use to make this website.
Web Resources
Google Workspace for email, calendar, and online file storage
Cloudflare for managing and registering domain names
Squarespace for powering this website
Software & Apps
Affinity Suite is used to process any images and graphics.
FYI - I stopped using Adobe Creative Suite/Cloud in 2023.Fonts used on KrisBlack.com are Londrina Solid and Helvetica Neue.
The code editor I use is Nova by Panic to write custom CSS/LESS code for styling the site beyond Squarespace’s built-in design features. I use another app, CodeKit, to compile my CSS for easy copy-n-paste into Squarespace Custom Code area.
I write blog posts for this site in Ulysses.
I have a subscription to SetApp which gives me access to a whole suite of apps on the Mac. I like evaluating new apps to see if I can streamline my productivity or enhance my workflows.
