Alexine
Bakery, Paris 18eA 4.5 star bakery with 762 reviews and no website. Built around their own counter and oven photographs, with the hours and the address a neighbour actually needs.
Chiaroscuro is what painters call the meeting of light and dark, the thing that turns a flat surface into a form you can believe.
Your business already has the form. Thirty years of it, in some cases. All it is missing is the light. That is the whole job.
One page or ten, written and built by hand. No page builder, no template with your logo dropped into it. It loads fast because there is nothing in it that does not belong.
A mark, a palette, a typeface, and the rules for using them. Made to survive a shop sign, a business card and a phone screen without falling apart.
Hosting, the domain, and the small changes that come up. New hours, a new photograph, a price that moved. One message and it is done.

Warm ivory and clay. Every fact on the page came from the practice itself, so nothing on it needed inventing.
A practice that treats children. Softer type, bigger targets, and a form a parent can finish with one hand.
Deep green and stone. Built to sit beside the shopfronts of the Marais rather than fight them.
Quiet, clinical, unhurried. The kind of page that answers a question instead of selling.
Listed online with a domain that no longer resolves. The site was rebuilt from the ground up, on an address they would own.
These are concept builds, not live client sites. Each one was designed unprompted for a real business that had none, using photographs published by that business. Every photograph remains the property of the business shown.
Your listing, your reviews, your photographs, and what people already say about you. Most of the site is already there before we start.
A real page with your real content. Nothing greyed out, nothing marked coming soon, no placeholder text.
You see the finished thing on a live link before any money changes hands. If it is wrong, we change it. If you walk away, you owe nothing.
The domain is registered in your name. The files are yours. If you ever leave, you take the whole thing with you.
Prices are for the build. The domain costs what the registrar charges, and it is registered in your name, not ours.
