+
+[My personal website][website], built with [Sculpin][] - a PHP-based static site generator.
+
+It contains pages about my products, services, public speaking and training, as well as my daily email archive, podcast episodes and old blog posts from earlier versions of the website.
+
+## Styling
+
+The styling is done using [Tailwind CSS].
+
+## Hosting
+
+The website is hosted on a 1GB DigitalOcean droplet alongside other static websites.
+
+I'm using Apache as my web server so I can easily manage redirects using the `.htaccess` file within the `source` directory..
+
+As it's a static website, no PHP or database are needed.
