emesen, a new consultancy that leads with the buildings it has worked on.

Brand & website · 2025

emesen opened in 2025 as an independent project management and cost management consultancy, with offices in Bristol and Cardiff. We designed the brand and built the website, and we put the projects and the people first, because that is what a client checks before they pick up the phone.

emesen work on construction projects across the South West and South Wales from 31 College Green in Bristol and from Cardiff. Their projects page lists seventeen schemes, among them the redevelopment of Ashton Gate Stadium, Origin Workspace in Clifton and the School of Management at the University of Bath.

Their first anniversary post, in March 2026, says the firm was started by three people. The About page now shows fourteen. Several of the schemes were worked on by members of the team at earlier firms, and each of those project pages says so in plain words. We kept that, because a client will find out anyway and it reads as honest.

So the site is built around three things: the projects, the team and the accreditations. The services are two short lists.

Branding

The logo is a lowercase emesen wordmark in heavy, rounded letters, in orange on white or white on navy. Behind it sits a set of nested hexagon lines with rounded corners. On the site they become the yellow ribbon that runs behind the heading on every page, and the shape almost every photograph is cut into.

The palette is navy, orange, yellow and teal on white pages. Headings are set in All Round Gothic, which has the same rounded corners as the wordmark, and the body copy is Graphik. The team portraits all sit on the same orange, teal and navy grounds, so fourteen people look like one firm.

Website design

Each page opens the same way: a big heading, one line about the firm, a yellow Get in touch button and a project photo cut into that rounded hexagon. On the homepage the photo flips to another scheme every five seconds, so a first visit sees several buildings without scrolling.

The projects page is a wall of photos, seventeen of them, and each opens a page on the scheme and what emesen's people did on it. The About page has the team, with a name under every portrait, next to the Constellia and Bloom badges. Bloom is how public sector clients can buy from emesen through the NEPRO³ framework, which their news page explains.

Website development

The site runs on our own CMS, the same one barecreative.co.uk is built on, so a new project, a new starter or a news post goes in as a page rather than as a job for a developer. The news page is where emesen have announced new team members, two vacancies, their ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification and Cyber Essentials.

Motion stays in the background. Photos and headings move at slightly different speeds as you scroll, built with GSAP. The footer carries the RICS, Good Business Charter, Cyber Essentials and ISO logos on every page, with the certificate number, and the menu holds both office phone numbers and the email address.
