Hero
The name as an oversized wordmark with a photo pill, the role, a one-line pitch, the local time in Kyiv and an ASCII shader behind it all.

Kyrylo Savenkov: A developer’s personal site, designed by us and built on Astro.
Kyrylo Savenkov is a full-stack developer in Kyiv — PHP and Laravel, Vue.js, TypeScript — who had no website of his own. We designed it and built the Astro foundation: the structure, the layout and the components. Kyrylo has developed it further himself since.
Direct answer
A new personal site: our design, our Astro foundation, and then his to develop.
99 Francs designed the personal site of Kyrylo Savenkov, a full-stack developer in Kyiv, and built its Astro foundation — structure, layout and components — in 2026. The site runs in English and Ukrainian, with a light and a dark theme, and Kyrylo has developed it further himself since.
Challenge
A first website for someone who builds them.
A developer’s own site is judged on craft and then kept alive by its owner. It had to look considered, load as plain pages, and leave a codebase that he would want to work in.
There was no site to migrate
Kyrylo had no website before. This was a new site, built from a blank page rather than moved from another platform.
A developer will keep changing it
The site belongs to someone who writes code for a living, so the foundation is plain Astro components with a clear structure that he can read, extend and has since developed himself.
Two languages and two themes from day one
The site ships in English and Ukrainian, each with its own URL and hreflang tags, and a light and a dark theme that the visitor can switch.
The page should show how he works
A full-stack developer's site can say it through the page itself: a résumé that is also a shell, and a panel that puts a Laravel route beside the Vue component that calls it.
Terminal
The résumé is a shell.
Everything below the hero is also a shell: type about, stack, experience, projects or contact, press Tab to complete and ↑ for history. The theme and lang commands switch light and dark and English and Українська.
Both halves of one feature
A Laravel route beside the Vue component.
Most teams hand a feature from backend to frontend and lose something at the seam. The panel puts the server code on one side and the client code on the other, and the visitor drags the seam between them. It reads the same in both themes.
First visit and themes
A boot screen that knows when to stay out of the way.
The first visit of a session opens on a short boot sequence — a counter to 100 and a few log lines — and it is skipped for visitors who ask for reduced motion and for the rest of the session once it has played. The light theme keeps the same layout and the same shader.
What we built
One page, seven blocks, two languages.
The structure, the layout and the components of the site, in Astro. The content and everything built on top since belong to Kyrylo.
Terminal
“Run the résumé”: a shell with about, stack, experience, projects and contact commands, Tab completion and history, and theme and lang commands.
Both halves of one feature
A draggable seam between a Laravel route on the server side and the Vue component on the client side.
Experience
The career as a git log: commit hashes, branch lines and tags for server, client and both halves.
Projects
A list ready for case studies, with a note that they are coming soon.
Contact
“Let’s build.” A copy button for the email address, Telegram and a Work with me button.
Ukrainian version
The whole site again at /ua/, switched from the header, with hreflang pointing both ways.
On a phone
The same page, one column.
The wordmark scales down, the header collapses to the initials and a bottom bar holds the language, theme and Work with me controls.
Outcome
Delivered, then his to develop.
We handed over the design and the Astro foundation. Kyrylo has built on it himself since, and the footer of the live site credits 99 Francs Agency.

No. Kyrylo had no website before, so this is a new site. If you already have a site on WordPress, Webflow or Framer and want it on Astro, that is a separate service: migration to Astro.
Kyrylo does. We delivered the design and the Astro foundation, and he has built on it since, which is why the site is plain Astro that a developer can read and change.
Yes. Its HTML names Astro v5 as the generator and loads its assets from /_astro. It is served as static pages by nginx, with JavaScript for the interactive parts: the terminal, the theme switch, the shader and the split panel.
Yes. There is an English version at the root and a Ukrainian version at /ua/, linked to each other with hreflang tags, and the language can be switched from the header or with the lang command in the terminal.
Yes. We build fast static-first websites in Astro and move sites to Astro from WordPress, Webflow and Framer. See Astro development and migration for what we build, what it costs and when Astro is not the right choice.
