We completed a full rebrand for WTA Group, including a UX/UI redesign of their website, to better reflect their expertise in freight forwarding and commitment to sustainability and customer-focused logistics.

The project began with a rebranding workshop to clarify WTA’s values, messaging, and visual direction. This resulted in a refreshed identity featuring sharper typography, a modern colour palette, and cleaner iconography—projecting clarity, trust, and innovation.

Next, we focused on the user experience, ensuring customers could easily explore services like sea, air, road, and rail freight, customs brokerage, and warehousing. We simplified navigation, clarified the content hierarchy, and made every page intuitive and easy to navigate.

Since the rebrand and website launch, WTA’s messaging is sharper, users move through the site with greater confidence, and the refreshed design makes complex logistics services feel modern, approachable, and easy to understand.

We partnered with to create their brand and develop an online platform to display their comprehensive horse racing data, with the goal of creating a cleaner, faster and more intuitive experience for racing fans.

We started with a full branding workshop to define the visual identity and brand voice. From there, we built their platform in PHP, integrating multiple third-party APIs to bring live racecards, data, and features together in a seamless interface.

We designed the platform with the user in mind, with responsive tables and clean typography to make data easy to digest on any device, and subtle UI cues to guide interaction.

Since launch, we’ve continued collaborating with The Horse’s Mouth to enhance the user experience and introduce new features, such as the race simulator, helping the platform stand out from traditional racecard providers.

Earlier this year, we partnered with to rebuild their Shopify store, with the goal of making the site feel more high-end and really show off their one-of-a-kind luxury lingerie pieces.

After a full audit of the existing site, we found that the navigation needed work. We started by restructuring the entire layout and introduced a mega menu and sub-collections to make browsing easier and more enjoyable.

When it came to design, we kept the UI clean and minimal to let the photography take the lead and put the products in centre stage. On product pages, for example, we introduced a gallery grid layout to showcase their stunning product photography and help customers visualise the pieces from all angles.

We also applied smart CRO strategies to product and landing pages. This included adding new product metafields and metaobjects to make product pages more engaging, displaying trust signals throughout the site, and adding interactive elements like a Shop the Look section to improve the user experience.

Since the relaunch, we’ve continued working with Scarlett Gasque, integrating loyalty programmes, customer reviews and a much smoother returns process. We’re also improving accessibility across the site to ensure everyone has a great experience.

It’s been brilliant collaborating with Scarlett Gasque and we’re excited to continue working with them in the future.

reached out to Create8 because they wanted a site that felt different and made it easy for customers to buy (and keep buying) their coffee.

We built them a custom Shopify store with a minimalist layout designed for conversions. The large, standout text and fun illustrations bring personality, while the structure guides users easily from browsing to checkout.

We worked with them to develop a story-led brand voice, crafting short, punchy copy that matches their bold personality. With a subscription builder and clear partnership flows to streamline B2B sales, the results speak for themselves:

 Average order value up 44% 📈
 Gross sales up 61% 💰

Naming your brand can be more difficult than naming your firstborn! The name you choose will impact your brand’s identity and potentially its future success, so it’s a decision that can’t be made lightly!

If you get it wrong, a weak brand name could hold your business back and limit its opportunities, and rebranding with a new name later down the line could be a very expensive process. So, it’s important to do your research and think strategically when choosing your brand name to get it right the first time!
