Sites made,
not assembled.

opifex, -icis m. Lat. one who makes a work; a craftsman, a maker.

Opifes is a web design studio. We design and build each site from scratch, for the one company it belongs to.

Start a project

A comparison of two versions of the same bakery's site. The template version: a purple gradient, the headline “Welcome to Our Bakery” and three identical cards. The designed version: the headline “Bread is out at six”, the address, opening hours and today's loaves with prices.

Assembled

Drag the line. Same bakery: on the left what a template gives you, on the right what a design does.

How a site gets made

  1. We start with the business, not a layout.

    Before anything is drawn we learn what you sell, who buys it and what the page has to make that person do.

  2. We write the words.

    Design without copy is decoration. Headlines, offers and small print are written together with the layout, not poured in afterwards.

  3. We build it ourselves.

    The people who design the site also code it, so what you approve is what goes live: fast, accessible and yours.

  4. We stay after launch.

    Changes, new pages and measurement are part of the work, not a separate contract.

What a template cannot know A template is finished before anyone has met your business. That explains why so many sites look alike, and suggests a way to test your own.

Send us the address and two sentences about the business. We will reply with what we would change.
