what people say

Greencode Ventures

"Hugo & Janne translated our positioning into a sharp, new photography-led visual direction, and designed and built a website that truly reflects our brand. Clear async communication and video walkthroughs made every iteration easy to follow, and they refined the work with our feedback until we landed on the right solution. The result is exactly as we hoped for, and we can maintain the Webflow site ourselves with ease."

Rhetorich AI

“Hugo and the team at Oratory built the visual direction and website for Rhetorich AI from scratch. When I showed the website to clients and partners, people were really amazed by the visuals - the kind of work that makes a brand feel credible before you've said a word.”

"Hugo is someone I trust with a website project end to end — from early ideation and visual direction to design, development, and smooth interactions. I've forwarded him work I couldn't take on myself, knowing it would come back looking every bit as considered as if I'd built it. That's the kind of quality that builds real trust for the businesses behind it — and reflects well on both of us."

Oratory

“Hugo has been great to work with on multiple projects. His web design work is strong and he takes real ownership, collaborating also in the development phase to polish and fine-tune everything to the final result. Communication and client management have been seamless. Would definitely recommend.”

Venuu

“Hugo helped us redesign the main landing page for Venuu. The end result was great, and we definitely gained a lot of valuable ideas that we’ll be able to apply elsewhere on the site as well!”

FAQs

Who is this for?

Founders and companies that need to look credible to the people deciding whether to invest in them or work with them.

If you're pre- product-market fit or just need your first basic website up fast, a site built with Wix or Framer templates, or vibe-coded, could do the job just enough and cheaper.

What exactly do you handle?

Direction, design, and development. We work together through positioning and structure before any visuals, so the site isn't just good-looking, it actually says the right thing to the right people.

What platform do you use?

I focus on Webflow, but sometimes custom development or Framer depending on what the project calls for.

Do you write the copy also?

Yes, we work through it together. I'll draft and propose the structure, but it stays a conversation, not something handed off blind.

How long does a project take?

Full projects usually take 6-12 weeks, depending on scope.

If speed matters more to you, we can trim the scope down to aim for a faster, smaller launch (a single homepage first, for example) and expand from there.

How much does it cost?

Projects are usually between €5K - €15K, fixed based on scope and timeline agreed upfront.

What affects it: visual identity, number and complexity of pages and level of animation. Let's have a chat about your project and I'll give you a concrete quote.

Who owns the site once it's done?

You do. The design, the website, the code, everything in it, is yours once the project wraps.
