A sandstone page that puts a machinist's question in very large type

The home page opens with a small eyebrow, Chief Technology Officer / Australia, and then Alistair's heading, "From the approved drawing to the welded joint", set in Instrument Sans at weight 600 and capped at about seventeen characters a line, so it breaks into three short, heavy lines on a desktop. Underneath, his name appears in Crimson Pro beside a note that he is open to board appointments and a link to start a conversation. A small greyscale portrait, cropped four by three, sits at the far right and shrinks to eighty pixels on a phone. A reader meets the traceability argument before the face.

The palette sets a pale sandstone ground against dark olive-charcoal text, with a deep moss-green accent reserved for rules, links and case numbers. The colours recall primer, mill scale and survey paper more than a software brochure, which suits Alistair's readers: chairs of family manufacturers, defence-industry suppliers and infrastructure contractors who distrust technology pages that look like product launches. Instrument Sans, a plain grotesque, carries headings and the large figures. Crimson Pro, a book serif, sets his biography, cases and readiness text, so a paragraph about sealed USB ports or weld-procedure qualification reads as considered testimony.

Beneath a four-pixel moss-green rule, the section titled "The scale of the work." gives each of Alistair's figures its own full-width row. A$238m of group revenue comes first, with a context line noting that about 61 per cent is defence work. Next come 712 employees, including 46 apprentices, across Wingfield, Edinburgh and Henderson. The third row is sixty-three CNC machines, with the note that nineteen older controllers now sit behind a program server. That last row deliberately puts an ageing equipment base in front of a director before any claim about modernisation.

The page then inverts. An olive-charcoal panel headed "The conviction behind the headline" sets his view in large Crimson Pro on sandstone lettering: an old machine is not automatically a security failure, and a new robot is not automatically progress. Below it, a ruled link labelled "Beyond the headline" points with an arrow to his first case, isolating nineteen older CNC machines before replacing any. His thesis, introduction and three proof points follow. A formation column lists his trade certificate, engineering degree and control-system security certificate, his chair's endorsement is quoted, and a closing contact block repeats his twenty-two available days.

Alistair's name runs in bold capitals above a four-pixel dark rule on every page, and the rule returns over the footer, like the binding of a technical manual. On Impact, each of his three decisions sits under a moss-green top border with a two-digit number: the isolated machines, the defence-first drawing path and the single welding robot programmed by welders. The Career page splits each of his six appointments into a narrow column for dates, title and employer and a wider one for ownership, team, budget and narrative, tracing his route from pump repair to naval fabrication.

The readiness page places Alistair's contribution statement in a dark panel at the top, where he offers to help a board ask for evidence behind green, amber and red technology summaries. A wider column below holds two judgement examples, his first-year approach, his conflicts through naval customers, suppliers and controlled data, and his independence statement. A narrower column lists the audit and risk and technology committees he would join, no current directorships and his governance learning, including a plain note that India's databank does not apply in Australia. His exposure entries close the page with exact labels: board papers, committee reports and an advisory committee seat.
