Fade Studio
The leanest build in the gallery — a handful of pages, almost no JavaScript, and booking reachable in two taps.
The brief
The brief weset ourselves.
Give a neighbourhood barbershop a presence as sharp as its fades. Not a chain with twelve locations — one address, a few chairs, and customers who book from their phones, often from across the street.
The discipline we set: anything that didn't help someone pick a time or find the door had to go. A Foundation budget is an exercise in subtraction — every page had to earn its place.
The decisions
Decisions you cansee on the screen.
Real choices from the build — the kind you can see on the page, not in a slide deck.
- 01
Two weights, black on white
One grotesque, two weights, no accent colour: contrast does all the work. It's the strictest composition in the gallery — proof that a small budget is no excuse for a soft page.
- 02
Almost no JavaScript
The site ships as almost pure HTML and CSS — no client-side framework, no animation library. On a phone's data plan, every page arrives at once, whole.
- 03
Booked in two taps
From any page: one tap on the booking button, one more on a time. Prices, address, and opening hours fit on a single screen — because that's all a customer is looking for, and they're in a hurry.
The engagement
What a projectlike this costs.
Foundation
A tight, fast site like this one is exactly what the Foundation package is for: from $2,500 CAD, delivered in one to two weeks.
Why this site exists
There is no client behind this project. It's a demonstration we set ourselves — designed, built, and shipped to production like a real engagement. The business is fictional; the work is not.
Your businessisn't fictional.
Let's talk about it. At our very first conversation, you'll see a working prototype of your site — before you commit a dollar.
