Most Chelsea briefs start from the same place: the brand is already expensive and well made, and the website is the part letting it down.
The businesses here tend to have invested properly in brand — interior design studios, galleries and antique dealers, private clinics, luxury retail along the King’s Road and the Fulham Road. Photography, identity, print and premises are all handled to a standard, and then the website is on a template that fights every one of those decisions.
That makes the work more about fidelity than invention. Typography that actually matches the brand rather than approximating it, spacing that holds, images that are not quietly compressed into mush, and restraint — because a site for a business like this is judged on whether anything looks wrong, not on whether anything looks clever.
The other recurring requirement is discretion. Private clinics and dealers frequently need enquiry handling that does not leave client details sitting in a shared inbox, and parts of the site that are not open to everybody. That is an access and data question rather than a design one, and it is usually the part a template cannot do at all.
