Why Alpha?

If you’re still here, I hope Alpha has sparked your curiosity.

I could keep going bombarding you with fancy stats, flipping headings, endless parallax effects, smooth fade-ins, and bouncing text to showcase the “mightiness” of Alpha’s strengths and “uniqueness”.

But that’s not what Alpha is about.
And honestly, I’m not here to sell, convince, or influence you.

Like nearly every theme out there, Alpha is packed with the essential functionality a static website might need.
I didn’t reinvent the wheel, and I’m not claiming to have created a better one.

My goals were simple:

  1. To create a “wheel” that’s easy to use for creators, and visitors.
  2. To build a theme designed for long, text-heavy journeys, because some stories and ideas deserve space to breathe and unfold.

That’s my honest perspective on Alpha and what it aims to be.
