We’re Lumin, a web design, development and digital strategy business based in Brighton, UK, operating globally.
We help outdoor, wellness and sustainable brands with their online presence using authentic web design, low-carbon web development, and online strategy.
We’re Luminaries too
luminary /’lu:m|n(ə)ri/
- a celestial light-giving body, especially the sun or moon
- a body or object that gives off light
Our mission is to be your moon. To reflect your light with a purpose-driven website and strategy so you can shine even brighter.
Not another values section
We’d never suggest including a list of values on your website if those values weren’t intrinsic to your business and the outdoor, wellness and sustainable brands we work with. So know that ours truly mean something to us. They’re the lights that guide us.
-
Compassion to our planet
We exist to lift people and the planet up and make a positive difference in the world. The easiest way we can all do that is to be kind to one another, ourselves and the beautiful planet we live in.
-
Creative styles and solutions
There’s no one way to “do marketing.” We’re constantly looking for new angles — creative ways to solve problems and add style and flair to help you stand out.
-
Energy into everything
We bring optimism, verve, energy to the table every day. Especially Mondays. That’s because we love what we do, especially when we can help you fuel the flames that drive your purpose-driven business.
-
Ambitious and purpose-driven
We’ll always champion your ambition because we always invest in and champion our own. Unapologetically. At Lumin, we’re all about the moonshots, baby. Let's make a difference together.
-
Always being ourselves
We’re completely honest and transparent with what we care about, what we think, and why. We’re daringly authentic, and we encourage you to be, too — especially as a business trying to make a difference.
-
Outdoor, wellness and sustainability
We picked these industries as a niche because we absolutely love them. Nature, health and our planet — 3 areas we know personally, are passionate about and are invested in.
Hi, I’m Lucian
I founded Lumin because I was tired of seeing outdoor, wellness and sustainable businesses waste their hard-earned money on websites that weren’t designed to support their goals.
It’s simple, really:
If you understand your business goals, you can create a marketing strategy that helps you achieve them.
And if you understand your marketing strategy, you can create a website that sits at the centre of it, earning the trust, loyalty, and business of your prospects.
At Lumin, we understand this hierarchy.
That’s why we take a strategy-first approach to web design and development. And why we produce websites that have an actual reason for existing — beyond ticking the “I have a website box.”
Our websites anchor and reinforce your marketing, authentically reflect your brand, build trust, convert browsers into buyers, and save you time.
With us, your site will be both a tireless sales machine and a bold statement about you. One you’re confident to share. Excited to share.
As the primary website strategist, designer, and developer at Lumin, I’ll be your main port of call. With that in mind, these are the most important things to know about me:
- I’ve been a website “unicorn” since 2020 — strategising, designing, and building websites for ambitious businesses that range in size from owner-operated micro-businesses to £10m+ enterprises.
- I have a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, so identifying and solving problems and optimising systems is kinda my thing. You’ll see this come to life in the strategy work I do for you.
- I've always had a personal passion and love for the outdoors and natural wellness/health practices. Not to mention my lifelong desire to do good things for our planet (hence the sustainable focus too). Basically, I understand your industry.
- Celebrating the triumphs of others has always electrified me. For my family, my friends, my colleagues, and you, I’m the epitome of a hype man: right there in the front row, wearing a shirt with your name on it, cheering you on long after the curtains close and everyone goes home.
The Lumin Pack
But Lumin is bigger than me.
I might be a website unicorn, but I can’t — and don’t try to — do everything.
That’s where the Lumin Pack comes in.
The Pack is a collective of talented digital marketers and business consultants I trust. From graphic designers to copywriters to business coaches and beyond.
It allows Lumin to remain agile like the wolf, to adapt. We’re here to solve your problems and help you achieve your goals, not just build you a fast, beautiful website.
Whatever you need to get you where you want to go, the Pack provides.
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.
Lucian's consultation was invaluable for optimising my eco-friendly sports and sustainability website. He helped me compress images, reduce page weight and boost my Website Carbon Calculator score from D to A. 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 amazing, very talented and easy to work with! Thank you for all the great work you've done to our site, we are very lucky to have you.
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.
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.
Lumin exceeded our expectations in creating a user-friendly, carbon-conscious website that effectively showcases our work. Lucian maintained clear communication, conducted thorough testing, and provided detailed instructional videos on using and maintaining our new site. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the process stress-free. We would gladly work with Lumin again.
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.
Lucian gets to know the business and then puts his own spin on it. We've had loads of praise about the site and it also helped our business management. The design and quality are up there with the best and our sign ups have gone through the roof!
