While the builders were being reforged, another loom began to spin — the website itself.
If Dicewoven’s rules were the bones, the website was its skin: the surface where stories, systems, and art would finally breathe together.
🎨 Weaving the Aesthetic
The early version of thewyrdloom.com was functional but plain — a blank canvas waiting for identity.
Then came the palette: Obsidian, Runed Gold, Violet Glow, Parchment, and Iron.
These colours became the essence of Dicewoven’s visual tone — dark but warm, ancient yet digital.
Borders turned to gilded threadwork. Parchment textures gave pages the feel of hand-crafted tomes.
Each update brought the world a little closer to how it looked in our heads.
From the beginning, the site had to feel like a place — not just a product.
🧱 Building the Structure
With Blocksy and Elementor, each section began to take shape:
The book heroes — glowing banners showcasing each release.
The Fables Blog, sitting humbly at the bottom, chronicling our journey.
Hidden flourishes like parchment fades, rune separators, and embossed footers.
Every element was placed with intention, balancing art and accessibility.
Then came the challenge: mobile navigation.
📱 Forging the Mobile Bar
We wanted mobile users to feel at home — no scrolling through endless menus, no broken layouts.
So we built a bottom navigation bar from scratch, right in the site’s CSS.
No premium plugins.
No shortcuts.
Just code and persistence.
The result: a clean, glowing menu that sits comfortably at the bottom of the screen — linking to the Library, Lore, Tools, and the ever-expanding Fables.
It’s small, but it changed everything.
Now, no matter how deep someone travels into the site, the path home is always there.
🧶 The Loom Tightens
The website has become more than a display — it’s a reflection of the Dicewoven philosophy:
craft, connection, and clarity.
Every update threads new life into the project, each design choice a stitch in something greater.
The Loom grows — not just through code, but through care.
