case studies &
homepages we've built.

Every project below opens a full case study — the brief, our approach, and the build.

Start from a template

a library of
ready-to-brand sites.

Fourteen fully-built, animated templates — brands, factories, shops and launches. Preview any of them live, pick one, and we make it yours.

Every template is 100% custom-coded — desktop & mobile, load & scroll motion all done. Swap in your brand, copy and photos and it's ready to launch.

What we do

services.

Four disciplines, one team — combined into brand experiences that ship.

01brandingLogo systems, visual identity, guidelines and brand collateral. 02web design & developmentCustom, hand-coded sites — landing pages to full builds. Fast & responsive. 03motion designSmooth-scroll interactions, micro-animation and launch films. 04art directionPhotography direction, campaign visuals and creative strategy.
How we work

a clear path
from idea to launch.

No account managers, no black box. Four focused stages, fixed scope, fixed timeline.

01

discover

A kickoff call to understand your brand, audience and goals. You get a written scope, timeline and fixed quote before anything starts.

02

design

We design in the browser — real type, real layout, on real devices. You review live previews and shape the direction with us, not from static mockups.

03

build

Hand-coded, fast and responsive. Smooth-scroll motion, clean markup, SEO basics and a CMS if you need to edit it yourself.

04

launch

We deploy, connect your domain, set up analytics and hand over. Two weeks of free tweaks after go-live, plus optional ongoing care.

The Studio

credo /ˈkreɪdoʊ/ —
a set of beliefs that guide what we make.

We believe good design isn't decoration — it's the reason a stranger trusts you in five seconds. Credo is a small, senior studio: no account managers, no hand-offs. You work directly with the people designing and building your site.

Warm, characterful, and engineered to perform — that's the Credo standard, from first sketch to final deploy.

Questions

good to know.

The things clients ask before we start. Anything else — just ask.

What does a project cost?+
Most landing pages start around $800–$1,500, full multi-page brand sites from $2,500. Every project gets a fixed quote after the discovery call — no hourly surprises. Branding and motion are quoted per scope.
How long does it take?+
A focused landing page is usually 1–2 weeks. A full brand site is typically 3–5 weeks depending on page count, content readiness and rounds of feedback. We agree the timeline up front in the scope.
Do you write the copy and provide images?+
We can. Copy direction and art direction are part of what we do — we'll either shape your existing content or write and source visuals for you as an add-on. Nothing ships with lorem ipsum.
Can I edit the site myself after launch?+
Yes — if you need to update content, we build on a lightweight CMS so you can edit text and images without touching code. If you'd rather we handle changes, we offer a simple monthly care plan.
What do you need from me to start?+
A short brief on your business and goals, any brand assets you already have, and examples of sites you like. We handle the rest and guide you through each stage.
