Zuzo StudioWeb design & engineering
Websites that move with your brand
Zuzo is a design and engineering studio for companies that outgrow their site every eighteen months. We build fluid, component-driven websites your team can reshape in an afternoon, not a redesign cycle.

01The problem
Most company sites get rebuilt every three years, mostly redoing the same work.
The issue was never the design. It’s everything around it: rigid templates, a CMS nobody trusts, and code only one freelancer understands.
02Approach
Embedded, senior, pausable
Zuzo works inside your team to turn the website into a product, not a project
We pair a small senior crew of designers, motion designers and engineers with a component system tuned to your brand. Marketing ships pages without tickets, the site gets faster as it grows, and the retainer can be paused any month you don’t need us.

04Process
Five phases, ten weeks
We build the system behind your site, then hand you the controls, one component at a time.
How we work in detail-
We interview your team and a few customers, dig through your analytics and audit every page you have. It ends with a short brief, a sitemap and a fixed price for the rest of the project.
- Stakeholder and customer interviews
- Analytics, SEO and content audit
- Brief, sitemap and a fixed quote
From youTwo workshops and a few short calls
2 weeksFixed fee, you keep everything
-
We design the parts before the pages: type, colour, spacing and components. Key pages are then assembled from those parts, so the whole site feels like one brand from day one.
- Design tokens and type scale
- Component library in Figma
- Key pages reviewed in the browser

We decide how the site moves: easing, timing, scroll behaviour and any 3D moments. Prototypes run in the browser, so you judge the real feel on your own devices.
- Motion rules and easing curves
- Interactive prototypes
- A performance budget everyone agrees

Components are built as they are designed, tested for accessibility and speed, and connected to your CMS. Your editors start working in it before launch, not after.
- Typed, tested components
- CMS setup and content migration
- Redirects, analytics and launch checks

Launch is the start. A settling period catches anything real traffic reveals, then a retainer keeps the site improving with new pages, experiments and quarterly audits.

06FAQ
Questions we hear on most first calls
Something else on your mind? Email the studio and a designer, not a salesperson, replies within a day.
What does Zuzo Studio do?
We design and build marketing websites for growing companies. One senior team covers strategy, design, motion and engineering, and we hand over a component system your marketing team can use to publish and change pages without a developer.
What is a fluid website?
A fluid website is built from reusable, well-documented components instead of fixed page templates. It adapts to any screen size, and it adapts to your brand over time: new pages, campaigns and visual updates are assembled from the system rather than redesigned from scratch.
How long does a website project take?
Most projects reach a first launch in about six weeks. Larger sites with migrations, commerce or many templates usually take ten to fourteen weeks. We agree the timeline after a two-week discovery phase, and we ship in stages rather than one big reveal.
How much does a new website cost?
Pricing depends on scope, so we quote each phase as a fixed price after discovery. Discovery itself is a small fixed fee, and you keep everything it produces even if you build elsewhere. We share a realistic range on the first call so nobody wastes time.
Which CMS and frameworks do you work with?
We regularly build on Sanity, Storyblok, Contentful, Payload and Webflow, with front ends in Next.js, Astro, Nuxt or SvelteKit. We recommend a stack based on how your team writes and publishes, not on what we prefer.
Do we own the code and design files?
Yes. At handover you receive the full source code, design files, component documentation and every account in your own name. There is no licence fee and no lock-in to us as a supplier.
Will the new site be good for SEO?
Technical SEO is part of the build, not an add-on. That includes semantic HTML, structured data, fast Core Web Vitals, clean URLs, redirects from your old site, XML sitemaps and editable meta fields for every page.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes, and we prefer it. We join your Slack, work in your repositories and pair with your designers and developers so the knowledge stays in your company after launch.
