Brand and web for businesses that sell on trust.

Brands that leave a mark

We design the identity and build the website as one piece of work, by the same pair of hands.

Process

  1. 01HeatWe learn the business until we can explain it better than the old website did.
  2. 02StrikeWe design while it's hot. You see real screens in days.
  3. 03PressWe build it, then go over every detail until it lies flat.
  4. 04CoolWe launch, then stay close while it settles.

You get me, not an account manager.

I'm Zivko. The person you brief is the person who draws the mark and builds the site.

Questions

Identity takes about four weeks and a website about six. Both together take about ten. The schedule is part of the proposal.

Yes. The studio works New York hours from Serbia, so most clients are in the US. Calls and reviews land in your afternoon.

You know the business, so the facts come from you. Editing your words is included. Writing pages from scratch is a separate job.

Care keeps the site current: hosting, updates, small changes and a monthly check. Or take the files and the training and run it yourself.
