For work that sells taste.

The first Quaeris Design release. A studio site carrying three case studies, a journal with authors and categories, and a pricing page that names a number — with the whole demo live and open to inspection.

THE BRIEF

What it is for, and who it suits.

A visual direction for people who sell taste. A cream ground, a deep navy ink and two accents doing the work a dozen usually do badly. The homepage opens on an illustrated character rather than a screenshot, which is the one decision that keeps a studio site from looking like every other studio site.

  • Independent designers and art directors
  • Two-to-five person creative studios
  • Freelancers who bill on craft rather than hours
  • Anyone whose work is the argument

DESIGN NOTES

The decisions behind the look.

01

The illustration is the differentiator.

Studio sites converge on the same grid of project thumbnails. Opening on a drawn character instead of a screenshot gives the page a face before it gives you a portfolio, and it is the part a competitor cannot copy by rearranging their own case studies.

02

Two accents, used sparingly.

Teal carries the brushwork and the interactive states; coral is kept for the single primary action on a page. Restricting the second accent to one job per screen is what stops a warm palette from reading as decoration.

03

The journal is a real content system.

Articles reference authors and categories through Astro content collections, validated at build. A typo in a category name fails the build rather than shipping a broken page, and every author and category gets its own indexable route.

04

Pricing that names a number.

The demo publishes service rates instead of hiding behind on request. Whether you keep that is your call, but the page is laid out for the version that commits.

02 / THE EXPERIENCE

Every screen matters.

Desktop and mobile layouts, navigation, focus states and interactions, checked at the widths people actually use rather than the one the screenshot was taken at.
