About this host
pages.caod.ch is a public library of static pages, not an application.
What pages is for
One-off documents, public notices, and editorial copy that should stay out of apps.
Contact
One address for pages, apps, and general CAOD correspondence.
The reading room
pages.caod.ch is a shelf you browse, not a feed that chases you.
The library habit
We add pages slowly and remove them when they stop earning their shelf space.
Hello
A plain door for correspondence with CAOD and Tidalux Ltd.
Work
Principles
Small by design
CAOD stays small on purpose so each surface can stay legible.
No theatre
No ads, no analytics, no third-party tags on pages.caod.ch.
Concept to container
The public line for CAOD: ideas carried through to something shippable.
How we work
A small studio rhythm built around legible surfaces and finished sentences.
Quiet software
Software that respects attention does not compete for it.
What we will not do
Clear refusals protect the work and the people who use it.
Name and marks
The Swiss name
CAOD uses a .ch domain; the registry does not publish the holder, and the name is not the server.
Marks
A UK company, working in the UK and Ireland. Names in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Servers close to home, and a few further out.
Names and domains
A domain is an address in the directory, not a map of where work lives.
On colour
Five marks name home ground and where the work sits.
Studio notes
On craft
Craft here means the detail you notice only when it is missing.
On restraint
Restraint is a product decision, not a lack of ambition.
On shipping
Shipping is the transfer of responsibility from studio to reader.
On type
Typography here is a quiet instrument, not a personality test.
On finish
Finish is the last pass that makes a surface feel inevitable rather than rushed.
On time
Deadlines are kept by narrowing scope, not by shaving quality in public.
Reference
Accessibility
Static pages, semantic HTML, and respect for reader settings.
Colophon
How these pages are made, without naming vendors or infrastructure.
Clients and partners
How we engage with stores, journalists, and collaborators without theatre.
A working surface
Public pages should feel like a desk you can actually use.
Press and partners
Boilerplate and links for journalists, stores, and collaborators.
How correspondence works for CAOD public addresses.
House style
How we spell, punctuate, and name things in public CAOD copy.
