Blueprint — Agency / Modern
This blueprint provides a production-quality reference implementation for independent strategy, design, and technology agencies. It demonstrates a server-first Next.js architecture that manages complex agency content—case studies, services, and editorial insights—without requiring a backend or CMS.
Architectural principles
The implementation prioritizes static generation and type safety. By storing content as typed TypeScript data in `src/content/`, the architecture ensures that all relationships—such as case studies linking to services—are validated at build time.
- Server-first rendering: Components are React Server Components by default to minimize client-side JavaScript.
- Slug-based relationships: Dynamic routes use local content arrays for static generation, eliminating runtime database calls.
- Hybrid artwork system: A shared `Artwork` component handles both high-resolution photography and deterministic SVG artwork through a unified interface.
Design system and interaction
The Modern design language uses a constrained palette of warm paper surfaces and near-black ink. Motion is limited to state clarification; all animations are tokenized and respect reduced-motion user preferences by collapsing transitions to near-zero duration.
Accessibility and compliance
Accessibility is treated as a fundamental requirement. The mobile navigation uses full dialog semantics, including focus trapping and scroll locking. All interactive components, including the signature work index, are fully navigable via keyboard and pointer, ensuring parity across input methods.
Demonstration transparency
Avenor Works is an entirely fictional identity. All team members, projects, and testimonials are illustrative. This separation ensures the blueprint remains a clean, reusable foundation for real-world agency sites without carrying legacy content or misleading claims.
