black moth design

Page design: Page has a top bar, mostly terracotta, blending to black at the right side. There is a left column of ragged-edge brickwork, dotted with small, black moths. Navigation bar is a curved line starting at top left, to below the top banner, curving down to the right. Along the bar are round, black navigation buttons, changing to red with mouseover, or red for current page. To the right of the page is a column of two or three larger black moths, with red mottling.

Why we're here

Websites are ugly, over-complicated and difficult to find your way around. Website design is often pretty miserable.  The text is too small, the layout is cluttered, little attention is paid to the writing, grammar and spelling are poor, the colours clash, the navigation is unclear, and it's all squashed into a narrow column down the centre of the screen with wasted space at the sides. We could go on. But you get the picture. Of course, it doesn’t apply to all website design – but it applies to most of it.

The trouble is that websites are either built by techie programming geeks obsessed with what a website does, but don’t care much what it looks like, or they’ve been squeezed into a one-size-fits-all, pre-formed template.

Our service is aimed at small businesses, community groups, writers, artists, public figures, anyone who wants a technically simple website that’s attractive, interesting, and easy to navigate. To achieve this, we stick to a few simple principles:
