Branding

First feel what your brand is. Then build.

Building a website without a brand direction is gambling with your budget. So we first develop 2 to 5 visual concepts: each with its own palette, typography, imagery and a real site design. You pick the direction that feels like your business. Then we build it.

No taste debates. Directions you can compare.

Case 01 · Lisa van Roode

Three brand directions for a lifestyle coach.

From editorial-magazine style to liquid gold: three fully developed directions, each translated into campaign imagery, out-of-home and website. Lisa chose, and knew exactly why.

Case 02 · Self-care webshop

Four worlds for one self-care webshop.

An international webshop in gua sha and botanical oils that does not sell products, but a ritual. Four concepts, from quiet spa calm to modern apothecary aesthetics: each with its own palette, logo treatment and web design, right down to the product photography.

Case 03 · Wisp · reflection app

From brand feeling to working product.

Wisp is a reflection app that thinks along with you. Out of several directions, Aurora won: weightless, luminous, almost pure light. That same brand world runs from the landing page all the way into the app itself, on desktop and mobile. Not a loose logo, but a complete product that holds together, down to every screen.

How it works

From conversation to chosen direction in three steps.

Step 01 · Intake

We listen and collect.

One conversation about your business, your customers and what you find beautiful. Plus everything you already have: photos, ideas, references saved somewhere. Mess is fine.

Step 02 · Concepts

We develop 2–5 directions.

Each concept gets its own palette, typography, imagery, moodboard and a real website design. No vague mood pictures, but directions you can put side by side.

Step 03 · Choice & build

You choose, we build.

The chosen direction becomes the foundation of your site, your social media and everything after. No redesign debates halfway through the build, because the direction is already set.

FAQ

What you want to know up-front.

What does a brand-concepts track cost? +
A brand-concepts track starts as a simple package from €750, including moodboards, palettes and a site design per direction. For an extended package, in which we also fully develop the website, wireframing, mockups, client avatars and customer journeys, expect at least €2,500. If you then choose a full website build with us, we credit part of the investment.
How long before I see the concepts? +
Usually 1 to 2 weeks after the intake. You receive a polished presentation PDF with all directions side by side, so you can compare at your own pace and share with your partner or team.
What if none of the concepts feels like my business? +
Then that is valuable information. In practice, the rejection points exactly at what you are looking for. We work out one round of adjustment free of charge based on your feedback.
Do I need this if I just want a website? +
Not for an SMB Starter site (€500, 3 days). For a custom track we strongly recommend it: a chosen brand direction prevents the endless taste debates that make web projects slow and expensive. The investment pays for itself in shorter build time.
Do I own the concepts? +
Yes. As with everything we make: you own the full result, including source files, palettes and imagery. Even if you continue building with another party afterwards.
