First website for a new business

A new business that needed to look established from day one. We built the full site alongside their brand, so the identity and the website landed together and matched.

The brief

Launching properly, not just launching

The business was new and had no existing identity to work from — no logo, no colour palette, no established way of describing what they did. They knew they'd need both a brand and a website, and they wanted to get them right the first time rather than launching something they'd want to replace within a year.

Their concern was credibility. In their market, prospective customers judge quickly, and a website that looks improvised costs you the enquiry before a conversation ever happens.

What we did

Brand and website designed as one thing

Because both were built together, there was no period where the brand and the site were pulling in different directions — the identity shaped the website and the website shaped the identity.

Started with the positioning

Before any visuals, we worked out exactly what the business does, who it's for and how to describe it — so the brand and the messaging had something solid to sit on.

Designed the identity

Logo, colour system, typography and the supporting guidelines that would keep everything consistent as the business grew and started producing its own materials.

Built the website around it

The site was designed to carry that identity properly — consistent typography, colour and tone across every page rather than a logo dropped onto a template.

Made it easy to grow

The structure left room for new services and pages, so the site could evolve with the business instead of needing a rebuild in twelve months.

The outcome

Looking established from day one

The business launched with a brand and a website that looked like it had been around for years — which is exactly the impression a new company needs to make when it's asking customers to take a chance on it.

  • A credible online presence from launch day
  • One consistent identity across site, social and print
  • Messaging that explains the business clearly and quickly
  • A foundation built to grow with the company
