Whatwebuild.
Three example clients, three finished sites, each built as a live preview you can hover over and switch. They show the range: a product launch with a shop, a booking site and a portfolio.

weather.
Twelve winters on the Atlantic side of Islay. Nothing added except the Atlantic.
Reserve batch 14The brief
A whisky that is entirely about its weather should have a website that is too. The distillery already logs wind, rain and temperature from a station on the still-house roof, so we asked for the feed.
The site should feel different on a wet Tuesday than on a still June evening, and the bottle should always be the last thing you look at.
What we built
A single-page launch with a shop attached. The hero grade, the fog and the copy line shift with live conditions on Islay, pulled every ten minutes through an edge function. Batch stock is read straight from the bonded warehouse spreadsheet.
Type is a condensed grotesk set in capitals, echoing the stencilled cask ends. The palette is bottle glass and cask oak, with one warm highlight for anything you can click.

kilometresstraight up.
Six seats. Six hours. A balloon the size of a stadium, and a view most people only see in photographs.
Hold a seat · 2027The brief
Nobody books a £90,000 balloon flight from a brochure. They book it because they saw the curve of the Earth and could not stop looking. The site had to give them that view first and the price last.
What we built
A WebGL horizon that responds to the cursor, sitting under an extra-wide typeface that stretches right across the screen. When a capsule is in the air, the altitude readout is real, streamed from the flight computer.
Booking is a four-step flow that never leaves the horizon. Seat holds are taken with a card deposit and released automatically after 72 hours.

Buildings that hold still in the wind.
Coastal housing, civic spaces and one lighthouse. Fourteen people in an old sail loft.
View projectsThe brief
Architects' websites usually hide the drawings behind glossy photography. This practice draws beautifully and wanted the drawings up front, indexed like a proper drawing register.
What we built
Bone paper, a visible 12-column grid, and a light grotesk with a heavy weight for emphasis. Every project carries a register number, a scale and a revision. Plans draw themselves as you scroll, using stroke animation on inline SVG exported from the practice's own CAD files.
The journal and projects are edited by the practice through a headless CMS; the site rebuilds in under a minute.
