Case studies

A closer look at a few sites I've helped build.

Small businesses across Brisbane and beyond, each handled personally, start to finish.

Client build

Sleepless Violin

An elegant portfolio that lets a concert violinist's work speak for itself.

Fiona, a concert violinist, needed a refined online home, somewhere to share performances and media, and an easy way for venues and collaborators to get in touch.

What I did
  • Custom one-page design
  • Performance & media sections
  • Booking enquiry form
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading

The result. A refined, atmospheric site she's proud to send to venues and collaborators, and the founding client Haven Designs was built around.

Concept build

Coppice

A self-initiated concept showing what a tradie gets at the Business tier.

Coppice isn't a client, it's a concept I designed and built end to end: an inner-Brisbane landscaping sole trader, grown from one page into six so each service ranks on its own search. Warm and grounded, built around a quote request that asks enough to price the job.

What I did
  • Business-tier build, a page per service
  • Qualifying quote form & click-to-call
  • Service-area map & suburb list
  • Motion that explains the work, not decoration
  • Hand-coded, fast, no page builder

The result. A landscaper site that reads as reliable and local, warm and botanical where the trade defaults to a logo on a stock lawn.

Still North Cafe

A self-initiated concept showing exactly what a cafe gets at the Business tier.

Still North isn't a client, it's a concept I designed and built end to end, to show what a modern cafe site looks like: the atmosphere, the menu, the little details, all hand-coded.

What I did
  • Brand-led custom design
  • Menu & photo gallery
  • Opening hours & directions
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading

The result. A cafe site with a room of its own, hand-coded and fast, where the category still defaults to a Facebook page and a photographed menu.

Low Exposure

A self-initiated concept showing what a photographer gets at the Standard tier.

Low Exposure isn't a client, it's a concept I designed and built end to end: a single-page site for a Brisbane brand and commercial photographer. Dark, editorial and cinematic, with a cursor-reactive hero. It's the Standard-tier counterpart to the Still North and Camellia concepts.

What I did
  • Standard-tier single-page design
  • Editorial layout, cursor-reactive hero
  • Hand-coded, fast, no page builder

The result. A photographer site with a real point of view, dark and cinematic where the whole category defaults to a plain black slideshow.

Personal project

Krisna Bou Portfolio

My own site, built to double as a live reference for the same craft every Haven build gets.

This one's mine. A software engineer's portfolio covering my project work, experience and background, hand-coded on the same pipeline as every Haven client site, so it doubles as a working demo of the build quality on offer.

What I did
  • Hand-coded, no page builder
  • Project showcase with live links
  • Experience & education timeline
  • Contact form

The result. A fast, personal site that also stands as proof: if this is what I build for myself, it's what you get too.

Camellia Flowers website
Concept build

Camellia Flowers

A neighbourhood flower studio, built to show what the Business Premium tier and a real online store can do together.

Camellia isn't a client, it's a concept I designed and built end to end: an inner-Brisbane flower studio with a working online shop, same-day delivery logic, and subscriptions. It's the Business Premium counterpart to the Still North cafe concept.

What I did
  • Business Premium custom design
  • WooCommerce store, hand-built
  • Same-day delivery & cutoff logic
  • Subscriptions, weddings & workshops

The result. A complete premium online florist, moody and editorial where the whole category defaults to soft pastels, with a shop a customer can actually check out through.
