Eleventhspace is a Ghana-based creative studio offering graphic design, photography, videography, branding, social media, and production services. When they came to me, they had no web presence — no site, no domain, no way for potential clients to find or evaluate them online. The goal was to build a polished, professional website from the ground up that could represent the quality of their work and actively generate leads.

Eleventhspace needed more than a brochure site. As a full-service creative studio, they needed a platform that could:

Showcase a diverse portfolio of work across multiple disciplines

Let visitors filter and explore projects intuitively

Allow potential clients to get in touch directly — with enquiries landing reliably in the team's inbox

Establish them as a credible, premium studio in a competitive market

The portfolio filtering system was particularly complex — the client had specific requirements for how work should be categorized and browsed, which required a purpose-built solution rather than an off-the-shelf approach. On top of this, a custom contact flow needed to be wired up end-to-end, from form submission through to email delivery.

I handled the project end-to-end — design, development, content management setup, and deployment.

Design: I designed the site to reflect the studio's creative identity — dark, confident, and visually led. The layout puts the work front and center, with smooth transitions and motion-driven interactions that mirror the quality of the studio's own output.

Portfolio & Filtering: Built a custom filtering system for the works/projects page, allowing visitors to browse by service category. This required careful state management and a clean UX to handle the complexity without overwhelming the user.

Contact & Email Infrastructure: Integrated a contact form connected to a dedicated backend API endpoint, using Resend to handle reliable transactional email delivery. Enquiries go directly to the client's inbox — no third-party form services, no dropped messages.

CMS: Set up Sanity as the content management system so the Eleventhspace team can add new projects, update copy, and manage the site themselves without touching code.

SEO & Domain: Handled full SEO setup including meta tags, structured data, and sitemap configuration. Managed domain setup and DNS configuration via Cloudflare.
