Reviewed the agency's brand system—circle logo mark, typography, image treatment approach. Identified technical requirements: custom filtering and distortion effects to create a "human touch" aesthetic, responsive behaviour that maintained visual impact across devices, CMS structure that would make sense to non-technical users post-handover.
Prioritised the build around what mattered most under deadline pressure. Hero sections and immersive image treatments first—these carried the brand. CMS architecture second—this determined handover success. Refinements last. Stayed in close contact with the agency to resolve creative-technical tensions quickly rather than letting them compound.
Built custom image filtering and distortion treatments in Webflow, testing against the agency's visual direction. Iterated on responsive behaviour until the immersive quality held on mobile. Validated CMS structure with the client early—better to catch friction before launch than explain workarounds after.
Delivered the complete Webflow build on deadline. Custom interactions, image treatments, and brand system fully implemented. Ran client through post-launch training covering content updates, image handling, and CMS management. Handed over documentation so future updates wouldn't require external support.
Hamish worked as a web developer for the agency (Equinox) who designed my employer’s website. As the Creative Director of said company, Hamish made my job easy to finish the website with a very easy-going and helpful attitude, along with the rest of the agency. He put in the extra effort to finalize the project under a very tight deadline, and didn’t hesitate to answer my various questions to make sure I could manage the website updates after handover. He was also able to integrate nearly every ask of ours into the website. Highly recommend!
Bre Lyle,
The site launched on time under tight deadline conditions. The brand system translated cleanly into Webflow—bold, immersive, and distinctive without relying on environmental clichés. Custom image treatments created the "human touch" quality the agency's creative direction required.
The client manages updates independently. No ongoing dependency, no support bottleneck. The handover worked.
A Webflow build that served the agency's vision and the client's operational reality. Technical implementation that stayed invisible—the brand leads, the system holds.
