A system before a single page.

Built from the founder's logo, three photographs and a written brand brief: colour, type and voice, set down once and used the same way on every page.

01

The brief

Pontefract Padel is building two covered padel courts in the grounds of Rogerthorpe Manor, Badsworth. It needed a brand and a website in place before the first game is played.

02

The challenge

There was no website, no codebase and no colour specification: a logo, three photographs and a written brand brief. The site also had to go live mid-build, so it could not take bookings, quote prices or promise opening hours that do not exist yet.

03

Our approach

The design system came first: palette, type, photography rules and a dry, short-sentence voice, all drawn from those sources. The site was designed against it and launched as an honest pre-opening site: what padel is, the four rules a newcomer needs, the two courts, the build and where to find it.
