The first client site: the parent company's own website, and how it took the same five steps every client site takes.
Innovating Today, Building Tomorrow. The home of the Stux.Group Brand of Companies: every brand, its software and services, and a way to get in touch.
The same path every client site takes, with a Stux.Group brand at each step.
One front door for the whole Brand of Companies: what each brand does, the software and services they run, and how to reach the team.
Stux.DigitalStux.Group red, with the logo assembling from particles, a tab for every brand in its own colour, and light and dark themes.
Stux.DesignPlain PHP with no build step, no database and no analytics, a protected contact form and the Boring Legal Stuff hub.
Stux.DevServed from Stuxedo's hosting, behind Cloudflare, with maintenance and coming-soon pages ready if they're ever needed.
StuxedoLive at stux.group, checked every 5 minutes on status.stux.group, and looked after release by release.
Stux.DigitalStux.Group is the parent of eight brands: Stuxedo, Stux.Dev, Stux.Cloud, StuxAPIs, Stux.Music, Stux.Digital, Stux.Design and Stux.Games. Each has its own site, but there was nowhere that showed them together. The idea was one site that does: who the brands are, what they've built, and a way to get in touch with all of them at once.
The design starts from the Stux.Group mark. On the homepage it assembles from particles, scatters away from the cursor, bursts when it's clicked and catches a shine every so often. Our Brands gives each brand a tab and a card in its own colour, with its icon rebuilding from particles when it's picked, and each logo stays muted until it's hovered. On narrower screens the row of tabs becomes a grid of tiles, so every brand stays in view without scrolling sideways. The site follows your light or dark preference, and remembers it if you switch.
It's plain PHP: one front controller, a view per page, and no build step, database or analytics. The Get In Touch form is protected by a CSRF token, a honeypot and rate limiting by hashed IP address. The Boring Legal Stuff hub holds all six legal pages, links pasted into Discord show a custom preview with the brands and buttons, and a local dev server runs it the same way on any machine.
Stuxedo hosts it, with Cloudflare in front. If it's ever down for maintenance, or relaunching, visitors are sent to maintenancepage.stux.group or soonpage.stux.group rather than an error.
Version 1.0.0 went live at stux.group, and it's been updated since, release by release. GitHup checks it every 5 minutes, along with its services and media host, and the results are on status.stux.group.
Every client site takes the same path. If you've got an idea, get in touch with Stux.Digital and yours could be the next one listed.
