Clarity before complexity
Information, user journeys and code should remain understandable without needless complexity.
About
Design with purpose. Build to last.
KSTL is an independent web development studio. It provides a shared framework for designing websites, applications and tools, from their structure through to deployment.
The studio
A deliberately cross-functional scope
The work may involve a public presence, an application interface, an internal tool or a project developed by the studio. KSTL is therefore defined less by a single format than by a consistent approach to the web.
Content and user journeys are structured before the interface. Development then gives the whole a reliable, accessible and maintainable form.
Technology is not an end in itself. Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js and the studio's other tools are selected according to each project's context and constraints.
Principles
What guides the work
Usefulness before effect
Each interface decision should support content or use rather than merely draw attention.
Right-sized technology
Architecture and tools are scaled to the project's actual needs.
Continuity
A project should remain understandable, maintainable and able to evolve after release.
Method
From context to deployment
- 01Understand the context, expected uses and constraints.
- 02Organize the content, data and main user journeys.
- 03Design and develop a solution suited to that framework.
- 04Deploy, document and preserve room for future change.
