Northwind Studio Website
A portfolio site for an architecture studio that lets large photography lead and keeps project pages fast to update.
The project
From the first question to the shipped result
Every case study follows the same three steps: the problem in the client's words, what I did about it, and what changed after launch.
01
The challenge
The studio published new work twice a year because their old site needed a developer for every change. Project pages were slow and photos were cropped badly on phones.
02
The approach
I designed a strict grid with three image ratios and built every project page from CMS fields, so the team can publish a project in an afternoon. Images are served in modern formats with art direction per breakpoint.
03
The results
The studio published six projects in the first quarter after launch, and the average page weight dropped by more than half (template figures).

What was built
Design direction
Quiet type, generous white space and a single accent line under the navigation. The photography does the talking.
For the team

- Draft previews before anything goes live
