Three presets. Every one was checked for contrast; the words and pictures never change, only the paint.
Chalk Warm white paper, near-black ink and a signal red. The cover look. The pictures are the only colour on the page. Darkroom Near-black ground, paper-coloured text and a safelight amber. The pictures glow the way a print does in the tray. Cyanotype Deep prussian blue, pale blue-white text and a sun yellow. The look of a blueprint, for architecture and drawing studios.

Master is the site exactly as delivered. Mirror is your working copy, kept in this browser on this device, plus the record you last published. Either one puts this browser's preview back in a click; nothing is published by restoring.

Backup is a dated copy of your Mirror settings, saved as a file you keep. Loading one changes this browser only; nothing is published.
Download a dated backup Load a backup file
Checkpoints : press I like this on a section to keep a snapshot of its words, pictures, layout and added blocks. Checkpoints are kept apart from the Mirror, so losing one leaves the other. Up to five per section; restoring one changes only that section. Checkpoints are never published.

Your site's storage keeps a copy of your Mirror and checkpoints in your own site account, so another device can get them and a cleared browser can get them back. It uses the passphrase from the Publish tab and needs Publishing set up. Getting a copy never publishes anything.

Only the files you download and your site's storage outlast this browser. Clearing site data, a private window or another browser starts this browser empty.
This browser (this device only) : the Mirror and checkpoints you are working on. Clearing site data, a private window or another browser starts empty.
Files you downloaded (you keep them) : backup and checkpoints files. Nothing that happens to this browser touches them.
Your site's storage (all your devices; needs Publishing set up) : an optional copy of the Mirror and checkpoints kept in your own site account behind your passphrase. Any browser can get it.
A quick look at this page the way a visitor, a phone and a search engine see it.

What a search engine is told about this studio:
On your own copy this tab publishes the look, words and sections above so every visitor sees them, behind a passphrase only you know. On the demo, changes stay in this browser.
How it works on a live site: the toolbar sends your settings to your own hosting account. Nothing in the page holds a password.
Ten AI helpers, one for each job on the site. Here is who they are and what each does. Their instruction files come with the site in a private folder, ready to hand to the AI assistant you already use.
The Front Desk Visitor questions The Concierge Follow-up The Engineer Site changes The Copywriter Words and search The Ad Writer Advertisements The Herald The email list The Checkup Site health The Mover Moving the site The Quartermaster Keys and settings The Foreman The week's plan
Connect your AI. Give your assistant this address and it can read the whole studio: the projects, the availability, the prints, the press.

Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot with a line like "Read this, then help me with my portfolio website." No key, no login, nothing to install.
Your side of the site. Pick a bench, ask it anything about running the studio. Every answer is a proposal: nothing reaches a visitor until you publish it.
The Workshop needs the passphrase you publish with. It is sent with your question and never saved in the page. The Workshop is not connected on this demo; on your own copy it answers from your hosting account's AI key.
