Cedilla Studio designs original typefaces and creative digital assets for an audience of designers, art directors and studios who care deeply about craft. Off-the-shelf templates were never going to cut it. The site needed to feel like an extension of the studio itself — confident, expressive and unmistakably theirs — while functioning as a high-converting e-commerce platform that could scale with their fast-growing catalogue.
We were asked to handle the full web design build and lead their ongoing SEO strategy, with a focus on driving qualified traffic to font releases and new asset drops.
We made the call early on to build the majority of the site with custom code rather than working within the constraints of an off-the-shelf CMS. This is a unique offering we’re proud to bring to clients across Lincolnshire and beyond — and one that very few agencies in the region are equipped to deliver.
The result is a site with no template scaffolding holding the design back. Every interaction, animation and layout choice was designed around Cedilla’s typography, letting the work breathe in a way a page builder simply can’t accommodate.
A type studio’s site has to be fast. Heavy font files, large preview imagery and rich animations can quickly tank performance if the build isn’t handled carefully. We engineered the front-end with that in mind from day one.
