CASE STUDY
Brunt Consulting
A bold but professional digital presence for a 20+ year engineering quality practice.
The brief
Something bold, that stood out from the boring consulting sites it would be seen beside — while still reading as professional enough that a business would take it seriously. Those two pull against each other, and holding both is the whole brief.
The constraint
Engineering quality is a field where trust is the entire product, and trust and personality usually pull against each other on a website. Push the design and it reads as a startup; play it safe and it reads as a template. The other constraint was the material itself: a consulting practice has no product photography and no interface to show, so the page had to be carried by type, colour and structure alone.
What I built
A navy ground with cream cards on it, which is where the seriousness comes from, and a warm amber that only appears where something is meant to be acted on. The cards track the pointer with a directional glow, so the page responds to a reader without ever moving on its own. The process runs as a five-node amber rail — the practice explaining its own method as a sequence rather than as a list of adjectives.
What the client got
A site that reads as a 20+ year practice at a glance and does not look like anybody else in the field. Every service the practice offers now has a page that can be sent on its own, and the process rail answers the question the first meeting used to open with.
The real thing is better than the write-up.
This page is a description of the work. The site itself is the work — open it and have a look around.
