2026
Three disciplines, one standard.
Engage the studio for a single discipline or commission the full system. Every engagement includes strategy, performance budgets, and infrastructure you own at the end.
- a.Architecture
Hand-written codebase — Astro for marketing, Next for product. No templates, no page builders.
- b.Performance budget
Sub-second interactive, sub-100kb critical path, tuned for Core Web Vitals.
- c.Self-hosted infra
OVH VPS, Caddy, Docker. Ghost / NocoDB / Postgres when required. You own the stack.
- d.Post-launch
30 days of white-glove support, then handoff docs or a retainer.
- a.Strategy & voice
Positioning, tone of voice, naming support — the words before the marks.
- b.Identity system
Primary mark, secondary marks, colour, typography, motion principles.
- c.Collateral kit
Social templates, email signatures, stationery, and pitch deck foundations.
- d.Guidelines
A living brand book — PDF + hosted page — so the system survives you.
- a.Audit report
Lighthouse, Web Vitals, accessibility, SEO — with prioritised remediation plan.
- b.Surgical rebuild
Replace the slow parts without scrapping the whole site. Astro islands, image pipeline, edge caching.
- c.Local search
Schema, Google Business Profile, directory hygiene — for clients who win in a radius, not a feed.
- d.Retainer option
Quarterly audits and content sprints to keep you ahead of the drift.
6 — 10 weeks
Measured, not rushed.
Every project runs on the same rhythm. Weekly check-ins, no surprise invoices, no mystery handovers.
Discovery
Brief, audience, content inventory, performance baseline. We leave with a shared definition of done.
Direction
Identity moodboards, type pairings, a single chosen direction. Proof-of-concept page for the hero.
Build
Design and development run concurrently. Weekly Loom walkthrough; staging URL from week four.
Polish
Content upload, accessibility sweep, performance tuning, analytics wiring, documentation.
Launch
DNS cutover, 30-day watch, retainer conversation if it fits. You keep the keys.
