We design how a product looks, reads and behaves: flows, wireframes, type systems, components and prototypes you can click before any production code is written.

  • Wireframes and flows
  • Grids and layout systems
  • Typography systems
  • Components and states
  • Interface transitions
  • Clickable prototypes

A guideline is the whole system: logo, colour, type, rules and the interface foundations your site and app use. See the real one we made for ourselves.

Our own identity, then this site

Studio workBrand identityWebsite

We built our identity as a system first: a wordmark in Bodoni Moda, a palette of oxblood, onyx and brass, and rules for every surface from a favicon to a proposal. Then we built the site you are reading on top of it, as its first real test.

Set in Erbil. Read everywhere.

websudo is based in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region. We make sites, apps and menus that read properly in English, Kurdish and Arabic, for businesses here and anywhere else with a screen.

Design leads. Engineering makes it run.

websudo is a design and development house in Erbil. We make identities and the interfaces that carry them, and we build what we draw, so nothing is lost between the design and the code.

Interfaces, layouts and type systems, decided screen by screen.

How we work

One team from the first sketch to the live site. The designer who draws the screen is in the room when it is built, so details survive: spacing, type, motion, the states nobody asked for.

What we hold to

  • Show the work, do not describe it.
  • Fast on a mid-range phone, or it is not finished.
  • Readable in every language the client speaks.
  • No templates, no stock gradients, no noise.
