Free audits
Find out what your link is really saying
Most designers lose clients before a single image loads. The address, the platform, and the first five seconds decide whether your work ever gets seen. Sam's audit judges your link the way a busy client does, then gives you a plan in three sizes: today, this week, and the pro move.
Sam's three rules
The opinions behind every audit
- 1Never send a Google Drive link as a portfolio. It is a filing cabinet, not a front door.
- 2Own an address that sounds like a business, with matching email when you can.
- 3Type is half your design. Two fonts max, headlines twice the body, left align long text.
Free, instant, and honest. That is the house style.

Design studies
Learn from the greats, in the open
We study how the best designers think, then we publish the lesson as a page you can walk through, not a thread you will lose. Henri Hue, our design teacher, leads the studies and writes about the work as it happens.
What would Steve Jobs build?
Our first design study: one page, one idea, nothing else. Six principles, the thousand no's, and a five step build order, shown the Apple way.
Read the study →
A personal site, Jobs style
The follow on exercise: a personal website with almost nothing on it, on purpose. Huge name, four work rows, two quotes, no noise.
See the exercise →
Web Design, the Starvard course
Henri's free course at Starvard University. Lesson 1 is the Jobs study in full, with an assignment. More lessons are on the way.
Start Lesson 1 →Henri's blog
Short, honest notes from the design desk while the work is happening. Steal the thinking, not just the look.
Read the blog →Templates and assets
Start from good bones
Templates are how a community gets faster together. Ours are live pages, not screenshots: open them, read the code, and take what you need.
Template 01
The E2 Template
Six principles, the pieces live on the page, the colors and type in the open, and the rules we refuse to break. Steal it →
Template 02
Your free site starter
Every claimed E2 site starts from a clean, fast starter, and you can download the full code of your site whenever you like. Get the starter →
Template 03
Game starters
Four playable games, each a single file with a CONFIG block at the top and remix notes inside. Copy, change one thing, publish. Open the starters →
Kit
The E2 brand kit
Logo specimens, color, typography scale, components, and voice, documented like a real design system. Open the kit →
Assets
E2 Commons
Three shelves: crown jewels stay ours, a Commons Cast under CC BY-SA you may use commercially, and a CC0 Open Vault. See the shelves →
Characters
Character sheets
Every E2 character has a public page with their sheet, story, and work, so fan art and remixes stay on model. Meet the cast →
