The last line below is this site. It fills itself in by the end of the page.
No two of my sites share an identity.
I am Charlie. I draw one-of-a-kind websites for small businesses, then log every identity so it can never repeat. This is the log.

Checked before anything ships. Our own sites are logged like everyone else's.
The rule
Three directions. One log. No repeats.
Every project starts with three drawn directions, each one different by design. The direction you choose becomes your site, and its five identity choices go in the register. If a new design matches any logged line on two choices, it goes back to the drawing board.
Two early fields stay in the paper log. Nothing on this page is invented.
The entries
Three businesses, three different worlds.
Open any entry. Five choices, none repeated, each one drawn for that business alone.

Two matching choices send a design back to the board. The check runs before you ever see a direction.
The collision test
Try to find a repeat.
Pick any two entries. The page compares all five choices, live. The guarantee is not a promise, it is a check that runs.
Every mark on this page is computed from the five choices it stands for.
Your line
Your business is not in the log yet.
Type your business name and the page will hold a line open. The real identity gets drawn the way the others were: three directions, your choice, then the register.
Every price is a from, agreed as a whole number before work starts.
