01 — The Atelier
A studio of one.
Standards of a house.
Bent Codes is a single-craftsman practice. No account layers, no offshore hand-offs, no template purchased on a marketplace and re-skinned. You speak to the person writing the code, and that person has spent seven years learning where the seams show.
The name is literal. Code gets bent — folded around a brand until the interface stops feeling like software and starts feeling like material. Glass, brass, weight, friction.
The full story
Since 2019
02 — Capabilities
What gets made
inside the studio.
Six disciplines, one hand. Each engagement blends them differently — a jeweller needs atmosphere, a private clinic needs clarity, a members' club needs both.
Front-End Engineering
Semantic HTML, modern CSS and hand-written JavaScript. Accessible, fast, and legible for whoever maintains it next.
Motion & Interaction
Scroll choreography, cursor states, transitions and canvas atmospherics — tuned to milliseconds, never gratuitous.
Luxury Commerce
Product storytelling, considered checkouts and editorial merchandising for high-consideration purchases.
Design Systems
Token architecture, component libraries and documentation so the brand stays intact long after launch.
Performance & Care
Core Web Vitals held to a 95+ standard, plus retained monitoring, refinement and quarterly reviews.
03 — Selected Work
Five.
04 — Method
Five movements,
no improvisation.
A fixed sequence refined across seven years. You always know which movement we are in and what lands next.
01 · Immersion
Two weeks inside the brand. Competitor teardown, audience interviews, archive review, and a written point of view on what the site must do before a single frame is drawn.
02 · Art Direction
Palette, typography, materiality and motion language, presented as one considered direction rather than three safe options.
03 · Composition
Full page design across desktop, tablet and phone, with real copy, real imagery and every state accounted for — hover, focus, empty, loading, error.
04 · Engineering
Hand-written front end, token-driven CSS, choreographed motion, accessibility passes at AA, and performance budgets enforced before anything ships.
05 · Custody
Launch, monitoring, and a quarterly refinement rhythm. A site is a living object; it is maintained like one.
05 — Standards
The non-negotiables.
Every engagement leaves with the same guarantees, regardless of budget or scope.
- Code ownership
- You own the repository outright. Original work, no licensed themes, no third-party page builders.
- Accessibility
- WCAG 2.2 AA contrast, keyboard paths, focus states, reduced-motion fallbacks.
- Performance
- 95+ Lighthouse across categories. LCP under 1.5s on a mid-range phone.
- Responsiveness
- Designed at 375px, 768px, 1280px and 1920px. Not scaled — composed.
- Documentation
- Annotated token file, component notes, and a recorded handover walkthrough.
- Aftercare
- Thirty days of post-launch refinement included on every build.
