Writing from the studio on design, engineering, and the grid we set everything on.

## Notes

- **[Designing on an 8px grid](https://goodtogrid.com/blog/eight-pixel-grid)** — Sep 22, 2026 · Design · 5 min read. Why every size on this site is a multiple of eight, and what that one rule buys a client at handover.
- **[From slide deck to website](https://goodtogrid.com/blog/deck-to-website)** — Sep 15, 2026 · Studio · 6 min read. What we learned turning a preschool’s curriculum presentation into a site parents actually browse.
- **[Dark interfaces without the mud](https://goodtogrid.com/blog/dark-without-mud)** — Sep 8, 2026 · Design · 4 min read. Three surface steps, one accent, and borders that do the work: the rules we follow for dark UI.
- **[Prototype in the medium you ship](https://goodtogrid.com/blog/prototype-in-the-medium)** — Sep 1, 2026 · Engineering · 5 min read. When a static mockup hides too much, and what we build in code before we build for real.
