A website template is like a house with the floor plan already drawn. You choose the finishes, bring your belongings and work out where everything fits.

Different businesses. The same placeholders.

I approach a website as an architect approaches a home. Get to know the people. Understand the surroundings. Consider the views, the movement and the spaces worth spending time in. Then draw the plan.

I bring the photography, film, design and build together myself, working with what you already have and creating what’s needed.

A quiet, considered place, built around you and made to be enjoyed.

01 / A personal practice

Filmmaker first.
Developer by choice.

I’m Jon, the architectural filmmaker and designer behind Spacedust.

02 / The problem with the template

Most people
build grids.

A website gets content poured into fixed boxes—great images get cropped awkwardly, shrunk down, or stripped of their scale just to fit a pre-set grid.

The familiar result

A digital filing cabinet.

03 / An editorial approach

Art direction, from space to screen

Your place.
The magazine
treatment.

A visual palette / drawn from the place

I build the layout around the imagery, using scale, space, contemporary colour, typography and movement to draw out the character of the place.

04 / From first impression to arrival

Keep the
feeling going.

From an Instagram reel or WhatsApp link, the website carries the character of the place through, giving you somewhere quieter to browse, picture yourself there, and then book or visit.

05 / Considered beneath the surface

Built to
do its job.

Behind the design sits a fast, lightweight structure, with clearly organised content that helps people, search engines and AI understand the site.
