Moreno Cuadrillero Arquitectos
Architecture studio website
About
Moreno Cuadrillero Arquitectos is the studio of David Moreno and Laura Cuadrillero, in Madrid. The site shows their work with the photo first: the home page opens with project photos that change on every visit, and each of the seven projects has its own page with text, data and a gallery. Around them are David's painting and sculpture, the news, both CVs and the contact page. Everything is in Spanish and English and is edited from a custom admin panel.
Highlights
A different home page on every visit
On every load the home page picks several photos at random from the bank of project photos. The brand and the button use light or dark ink depending on the photo, so they stay readable on any of them.
Projects and news as real content types
Every project and every news item has its texts in both languages, its photos and its order. A news item starts hidden, is checked in a preview and is published with a switch.
A CMS that shows what visitors will see
The panel draws each block with the same template as the public site and keeps revisions of every page to view and compare. The site palette, light and dark, is chosen there.
The old addresses still answer
The previous site was a WordPress. Its addresses redirect to the new page, or answer 410 when that page no longer exists.
Built With
- Go standard library + SQLite: server-rendered templates and a single binary behind nginx
- htmx 4: partial navigation over real links, which also work without JavaScript
- My Go + htmx template with a CMS: the base I use for new websites, with the skin and the blocks of this site
- No third-party services: self-hosted fonts (Instrument Serif and Inter Tight), a static map with OpenStreetMap tiles and self-hosted cookieless Matomo
- Playwright: end-to-end tests on desktop and mobile
The Story
For years it was a WordPress. In October 2026 I rebuilt it in Go, and in November I moved it to my template with a CMS so that David and Laura can change texts and photos without going through me. The Art page links to the website of David's exhibition, which is also on this list.
