NerdyPixel Studios —
a studio site that sells the work, not adjectives

NerdyPixel Studios is the design studio behind this portfolio. I designed and built its single-page site end-to-end — positioning, structure, visual identity, and a lead-qualifying inquiry form. The whole page is one funnel: say what we do, prove it with real work and hard metrics, then capture a qualified lead.

The opportunity

A small studio with big-studio work

NerdyPixel does UI/UX, web and app design, and branding — and has the case studies to back it. But a boutique studio fights an instinct in every prospect: "are they big enough to handle this?" The site's job was to convert that doubt into confidence inside one scroll, using the work itself as the argument.

Problem statement

Why most agency sites fail to convince

The default agency site over-promises and under-proves — a wall of services, a few logos, a contact form. It leaves a prospect asking:

  1. Have they actually shipped work like mine?
  2. Did that work move a real number?
  3. Will they take my project seriously?

And the generic "Get in touch" form invites every tyre-kicker equally, so the studio spends its scarcest resource — time — on calls that go nowhere. The site had to both prove the work and filter the inbound.

Prove with artifacts and numbers

Lead with evidence a prospect can verify: real screenshots, logo boards, packaging photography, and hard case-study metrics. Proof-of-craft beats a testimonial carousel — show the work, then show what it did.

Qualify the lead at capture

A budget selector, project description, and file upload sit inside the inquiry form itself. The form does the first round of qualification, so the studio walks into every call already knowing the shape of the project.

One page, one identity

A single-scroll page with a cohesive, slightly playful identity — branded accents over a whitespace base — that feels like the team made it, not a template. The site is itself a sample of the work.

An agency site is a sample of the agency. I built ours as the argument it needed to make: the work proves the craft, the numbers prove the outcome, and the form proves we respect the prospect's time — and ours.

I designed and built the site end-to-end — positioning and copy direction, structure, visual system, and the front-end build, including the parts the page builder could not do natively, which I finished with custom CSS and JavaScript.

The site is one funnel collapsed into a single page. The decisions below follow a visitor down it — from the promise, through the proof, to the qualified hand-off.

3.1Built the whole page as one scroll-down funnel

Hero promise → split services (web vs. branding) → proof → contact, in that order, on one page. No deep navigation, no sub-pages to lose people in. Every section moves the visitor one step closer to the form, and a "get in touch" CTA repeats at each natural stopping point so intent is never more than a tap from action.

3.2Made the case studies carry hard numbers

The flagship case study (Encubate) leads with quantified outcomes — conversion lift, signups, engagement, ROI — rendered as oversized numerals with small labels. The second (a restaurant brand) proves range with logo, packaging, and flex-display photography. Recognisable client logos do the trust work that words can't.

Outcomes as big numerals — the result is the headline, the label is the footnote.

3.3Turned the contact form into a qualifier

Name and email are table stakes. The form also asks for company, location, project description, a file upload, a budget band, and consent — so a serious lead self-selects and an idle one drops off. The studio gets fewer, better calls, and arrives at each one already knowing the budget and the brief.
