Lizzy East AI · Custom sites · The Design Book

Twelve businesses No two alike.

Every page in this book is something the engine builds: designed from one client's own intake, held to one bar, never repeated. Twelve invented businesses, twelve complete design languages, and every effect on the shelf, live.

00 How every site happens

They fill in one form. We hand back a site only they could own.

01

The intake. Facts, story, style words, sites they love and why, photographs. The long form is the raw material.

02

One concept. A single art direction from everything they said: palette, type, imagery, features, each with a reason.

03

Designed and verified. Copy in their voice, every photograph looked at before it is captioned, WCAG 2.1 AA enforced in code.

04

Judged first. Twelve quality checks scored with evidence before any human sees it. Then your team's edit pass. Then the client.

Plan, Queen Anne house. The line draws itself when it comes into view.

Three materials, one rule.

Concrete where the building meets the ground, timber where a hand will touch it, glass where the light wants in. Nothing applied, nothing hidden.

Four pillars

  • Time

    Where the week actually goes, measured, then redrawn.

  • Money

    Three numbers you watch, and the thirty you stop watching.

  • People

    Who to hire first, who to stop managing, and how to say it.

  • Direction

    One sentence about where the company is going that everyone can repeat.

13 How it is built

The rules under every page

Real, never invented

Numbers are the client's own. Ratings are pulled live from Google or left out. There is no data path for a testimonial quote, so none can ever be faked.

Photographs read as photographs

A scrim never erases the picture. Every image is the client's own or chosen for them, and the model looks at each one before a word is written about it.

Built to WCAG 2.1 AA

Contrast is measured in code, headings never skip, every control is a real button or link, and nothing is left invisible when JavaScript is slow or absent.

Motion that can stop

Every loop has a Pause. Reduced motion shows the finished page at once. Nothing above the fold animates in, nothing captures the wheel, nothing plays sound by itself.

Our code, every line

No page builder, no template, no third-party script. Each effect is two small files that drop into any site and work under a strict content-security policy.

Film without the heat

Film loops are silent, poster first, and load only when asked for. Video is used as the camera made it, never re-encoded on the way to the page.

14 The kit
