To the owner of a growing business,

We design your website and brand. Then we build it by hand.

Voyage is a small design and brand studio. From your own facts, our builder designs three finished homepages. You choose one, and we build it in code, then host it and look after it.

Our builder designed this hero three ways. You're reading C. See the three directions

What we make

A website, a brand, or both, and the care that keeps your site running once it's live. Choose what you need below.

How pricing works

We don't publish prices, because every project is scoped and quoted for the business in front of us. You get the quote in writing before any work starts. Care is a monthly plan, quoted with the site.

How we work

Six steps, in the order they happen. You see real progress at each one, never a single reveal at the end.

  1. We learn the business first

    Before anything is drawn, we learn what you sell, who buys it and what they ask before they do. Those facts are what every design is built from.

    You get

    Your facts, written down

    one sheet every direction is built from

  2. Structure before style

    We decide what each page has to do for your buyers, and in what order, before anyone picks a color, a typeface or a photograph.

    You see

    Each page's jobs, in order

    what every section is for, before styling

  3. Three finished directions

    Our builder designs three finished homepages from your facts, each with its own structure, voice and color. Finished means real words at both widths.

    You get

    Three full homepages

    not mood boards, and not sketches

  4. You choose one

    You pick the direction that sounds most like your business. What you tell us about the other two usually sharpens the one you keep.

    You decide

    One direction

    and what should change in it

  5. We build it in the open

    We build your choice by hand in Next.js and Tailwind, hosted on Vercel. You see real progress as it goes up, not one reveal at the very end.

    You see

    A working site, as it grows

    on a private link you can open anywhere

  6. Checked before launch and looked after

    Every page is checked for speed, accessibility and layout at phone and desktop widths. You get a plain-English guide, and we host the site.

    You own

    Your domain

    we host the site and keep it running

What we leave out

  • Page-builder templates Every site is designed and built from scratch.
  • Twenty rough options You see three, and each one is finished.
  • A big reveal at the end You watch the site go up while we build it.

Our work

We haven't shipped client work we can publish yet. So here is what we can show you: this hero, designed three ways by our builder from the same facts.

See the three directions

  1. Direction A

    The same facts read another way, with its own structure, its own voice and its own color, finished at both widths.

    See direction A

  2. Direction B

    Another reading of the same facts, sharing nothing with A or C but the facts themselves, and checked to the same standard.

    See direction B

  3. Direction C

    A letter on warm paper, with the steps, services and answers numbered down a blue margin. You're reading this one now.

Who we are and who we're for

We're a small studio. We design websites and brands for growing businesses, and we build the sites ourselves, by hand, in code.

We believe a high-quality website and a confident brand shouldn't be something only large companies can afford to get right.

We won't show you logos of clients we don't have, or quotes nobody said. What we can show you is how we work, and the page you're reading, designed three ways.

Write to us, and the reply comes from the people who would design and build your site.

Yours,

Voyage

The Voyage studio

hello@voyage.design

We're a good fit if

  • You need a website, a brand, or both.
  • A template or a freelancer let you down.
  • You want three designs to choose from.
  • You want the site hosted and looked after.
Start a project

We're the wrong studio if

  • You want a template live this weekend.
  • You'd rather build it in a page builder.
  • You need the site live in days, not weeks.
  • You want twenty rough options to pick from.

Questions owners ask us first

Answered before you have to ask. If yours isn't here, write to hello@voyage.design.

  1. Do I own my website?

    You own your domain. We host the site and keep it running for you on a monthly care plan, so there's one studio to write to when something needs to change.

  2. What will it cost?

    Every project is scoped and quoted for your business. Care is billed monthly. The budget bands on our form only help us scope a project; they're never our prices.

  3. How long does it take?

    Most websites take six to ten weeks from the first conversation to launch, and a brand on its own is usually quicker. Your quote gives the dates for yours.

  4. What if I don't like any of the three?

    Tell us what misses in each. Usually the miss is in the facts we started from, so we fix those and design again. A second round, if needed, is in your quote.

  5. Will it work on phones?

    Yes. Every page is checked before anyone sees it: speed, accessibility, and layout at phone and desktop widths. You see the phone version from the very first round.

  6. Who will I work with?

    A small studio, so the people you write to are the people who design and build your site. Nothing is handed on to a call center or an outside agency.

Tell us about the business and what it needs. We reply by email within two business days.

or write to hello@voyage.design

  • We read it ourselves

    The people who would do the work read every message. We reply by email with a few questions about the business.

  • A first conversation

    A call or a long email, whichever suits you. It costs nothing to find out whether we're the right studio for you.

  • Then a written quote

    Scoped to what your business needs, saying what it covers and when it happens, before any of the work starts.
