The brief

A running platform with great coaches and a slow, confusing site. Runners signed up, then left within a week.

  • Load in under two seconds
  • One clear path from trial to plan
  • Coaches on the first screen
Client voice

“They didn't redesign our site. They redesigned how we make decisions about it.”

(12) Questions

Before we get started.

Luca Brandt, founder of Raster
Still unsure?
01 · Timeline
How long does a project take?

Most identities take 5 to 6 weeks and a full brand-and-web system 10 to 12. We plan every week in advance and share the plan on day one.

02 · Clients
Do you work with early-stage startups?

Yes. Around a third of our clients are pre-Series A. The Sprint plan was designed for exactly that moment.

03 · Tools
Which tools do you build in?

Figma for design, Lumen or Astro for most marketing sites, and custom code when a product needs it.

04 · Handover
Can we keep editing the site ourselves?

That is the point. Every site ships with a CMS, a component library and a recorded walkthrough.

05 · Privacy
Do you sign NDAs?

Always, before the first call if you like. About half of our work never appears in this portfolio.

06 · Support
What happens after launch?

Thirty days of support are included. After that, most clients move to a monthly plan.
