About the field notes

What we write about, and why.

The field-notes blog is where the team writes up the small, hard-won decisions we keep making on real client projects, the kind of detail that never fits inside a scope of work but ends up deciding whether a build feels coherent or stitched together. Expect plainspoken essays on Webflow architecture, on-page SEO and AEO, accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, AI-native build tooling, and the operator playbooks we use to keep a marketing site compounding after launch.

Posts are organized into a handful of standing categories: build notes from the studio, opinionated takes on the modern Webflow stack, accessibility and performance deep dives, SEO and content strategy for product-led companies, and process pieces on how we actually run an engagement from kickoff to handover. Every essay is written by someone who shipped the thing they are writing about.

New essays land on an irregular cadence, when we have something worth saying rather than on a content calendar. If you want the highlights instead of the firehose, the brief form on the contact page doubles as a low-volume subscribe option. We will never autoresponder you to death, and we will never sell your address to a list broker.

If you are landing here from a search result, the index above is sorted newest-first, but the archive runs deep enough that the older posts on Webflow CMS architecture, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility patterns still hold up. Use the category chips above each post to jump between threads, and feel free to link any essay back to us in the contact form if you want our current take on it. We re-read our own work regularly, and we will tell you on the record when an old recommendation has been superseded by a better one.

What's your turnaround time?

Turnaround promise times are a trap. Each request gets a realistic DO date and a DUE date so you're always aware of when it's in progress and when we expect it to be complete.

How much time are you actually spending on my project?

Maintenance plans are based on blocks of hours up to 20 hours per week. If you choose Custom, hours are unlimited for the scope of the engagement.

Do you do 'unlimited revisions'?

No. We think unlimited design revisions waste a client's time and money and delay launches. Instead, we communicate ETAs and cap revisions at a number that actually ships.

Do you build new websites or only redesigns?

Both. We build everything from one-pagers to complex sites with hundreds of pages. Send us a message for specific examples.

Is Homade a solopreneur agency?

The operator is Kevin Jacobs. We contract from a trusted network of senior designers, developers, copywriters, and illustrators depending on the project scope and timeline.

Are you based in the USA?

Yes, Chicago, IL. We contract collaborators internationally as needed.

Do I need to sign a contract to get started?

Every engagement comes with a contract tailored to your needs. Pricing and features are negotiable until both parties e-sign.
