Strategy-led web design for purpose-driven organisations.

Your organisation is making a difference. Your website just isn't showing it yet.

We work with organisations, from green tech startups to established non-profits, whose websites don't reflect the quality of their work. That's the gap we close.

Your website should shine
as bright
as you
do.

Purpose-led and planet-positive brands:

Your website makes you look less established than you are

A beautiful website is great. But looks alone won't cut it. You need one that builds trust, converts the right visitors, and works hard while you focus on what you're actually there to do.

The site you built then doesn't reflect who you are now

Your organisation has evolved. That site you launched a few years back (or maybe more like 10 years ago?) made sense at the time. Now it's costing you credibility every time someone looks you up.

You get visitors, but somewhere along the way, you lose them.

Traffic means nothing if no one converts. That's why we build for delightful user experiences and lead gen, while incorporating SEO and automation, so the right people find you, and your website works hard 24/7.

You want to be proud to share it, and not dread updating it

A website that reflects your values and style lets visitors trust and understand you. But it works two ways. You want a site you can manage. One that doesn't require a developer for every small change, or a prayer every time something needs updating.

Your website should work as hard
as you
do.

  • “Our organisation truly feels like it’s been brought into the future.”

    I’m so thrilled with our new Future Water website. It looks incredible, it's clean, professional, and easy to navigate. The members’ area adds real value for our community, and the whole process with Lumin was smooth, collaborative, and on time.

  • “Holy s**t balls! This is mega thorough!”

    I'm chuffed with my beautiful, low-carbon website, but the real value came from the in-depth strategy Lucian created. It built trust during our project and shaped the website to ensure I get results rather than making design decisions based on 'ooh this will be pretty'. I love the design and the creativity he brought to the project, which he kept smooth and stress-free. The offboarding was also seamless.

  • “Perfectly reflects my values and vision”

    I was struggling with an old website and lacked the time or expertise to manage a migration. Lucian’s strategy-driven approach made it seamless, and his collaborative style ensured my feedback was always heard. Now, I have a professional website I’m proud to share in the impact and sustainability space. I highly recommend Lucian if you need a professional online presence without the technical hassle.

  • “My website now has a lower carbon footprint”

He also suggested practical changes like clearer CTAs, streamlined services, and a refined homepage. Thanks to Lucian's guidance, my website is more user-friendly with a lower carbon footprint!

      Lucian is a top-class professional with an eye for detail and outstanding creativity. He really brought my website to life. Communication was always there and he was never afraid to help and answer questions. I strongly recommend Lucian - everything has been 10/10 from start to finish.

    • “Approaches projects with a strategic mindset”

      Lucian only builds websites that genuinely support your goals, avoiding cookie-cutter solutions made just to tick the "I have a website box". I helped Lumin with copywriting and I've never had anyone translate my copy onto a website so well. Lucian did a marvellous job; I'm so proud of the end result. He's a pleasure to work with, and anyone seeking a strategy-driven website will feel the same.

    • “The end product was absolutely fantastic”

      Lucian redesigned our website following significant user growth of our app. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and was a pleasure to work with. We've received so many compliments on our new website and are extremely happy with it. I rarely give glowing testimonials, but this is well deserved. Highly recommend 5/5 stars.

    • “It’s rare that I work with a web designer who’s as strategy-driven as Lucian”

      One of the largest website projects I've worked on — yet somehow the smoothest. Lucian is genuinely strategy-driven. He documents audits, buyer journeys, competitor analyses, and personas before touching the sitemap. This gave me a running start as copywriter. His Notion system kept us organised, and working in parallel in Figma meant content and design worked together flawlessly. I can't imagine doing a project at this scale without him!

    “You’re bound to end up with a better website”

    The New Moon website audit helped me identify blind spots I had on my website. Both in terms of design and conversion rate, like CTAs and section placement. Lucian provided a ton of value in a short video. The feedback was on point and picked up improvements that I failed to see.
