Naming, Identity, Static site

Two makers, one product line, and a waiting list they wanted to keep. The site had to feel like the workshop: quiet, wooden, unhurried.

Photography carries the whole page, so the build is mostly a delivery problem. Images are served as AVIF at four sizes with a colour-matched placeholder, which keeps the reveal calm on a slow connection.

The name came out of a two-day session with the makers and a list of 140 candidates.
