Build+Co, a Brighton based project management and architecture agency required a highly flexible website that was able to feature almost any type of content.
To deliver this, I developed a completely modular system of content blocks which they could add or remove from any page on the site. This allows the same page template to be an image gallery, an urgent message or a thoughtful blog post.
The large imagery and light, sleek typography, combine with the clearly evident grid system to become reminiscent of architectural documents and drawings.
