Twelve more example sites

Twelve more businesses. Twelve more answers.

These are the twelve that are not on the homepage — sixteen sites in total. Every panel below is the real page running in a frame, not a screenshot. Click any one and it opens full size; that is the whole click, there is nothing else underneath. Every business is invented and every figure on them is illustrative.

01live page Bookshop

Quill & Vane

A newspaper, essentially. Real columns, a drop capital, a masthead rule. For anyone whose product is words.

Open the site → 02live page Bar & nightlife

The Gilded Hour

Gold on near-black, fluted walls, letterspacing for days. Expensive-feeling without mentioning money once.

Open the site → 03live page Gym & boxing

Ironhouse

Hazard yellow, five-pixel borders, nothing rounded anywhere. As loud as a website gets before it stops working.

Open the site → 04live page Architects

Marlowe & Ross

A twelve-column Swiss grid, one red accent, and the confidence to leave most of the page empty.

Open the site → 05live page Kids & family

Tumble & Bloom

Everything looks squeezable. Soft shadows, rounded type, pastel clay. Impossible to visit without softening slightly.

Open the site → 06live page IT & cyber security

Lockwood Security

Green phosphor, scanlines, and a console that runs a scan by itself. For firms whose clients need to feel competence.

Open the site → 07live page Hair salon

Atelier Sable

Monochrome and enormous. Fashion-editorial restraint, three full-bleed panels, priced by time rather than gender.

Open the site → 08live page Coffee roastery

Ember & Oak

Seventies sunset stripes and heavy type. Nostalgia used as a business asset rather than a costume.

Open the site → 09live page Removals

Hartley Removals

Practical blue, a drawn van, and indicative prices in a trade that never publishes them.

Open the site → 10live page Yoga studio

Stillwater

Serene rather than clinical. An arch, a lot of air, and a timetable that reads like a person wrote it.

Open the site → 11live page Music venue

The Cavern Rooms

A gig poster that happens to be a website. Stacked outline type, a marquee, listings you can scan in seconds.

Open the site → 12live page Photographer

Rowan Frost

Image-led and quiet. Full-bleed bands, a serif that stays out of the way, and pricing that says what is included.

Ten invented businesses, built to be as different from one another as I could make them. Every price, phone number and figure on them is illustrative. They are here to show the range of what I can design and finish — not to claim ten clients. When there are real ones, their names go on the homepage.
