Some projects come with long lead times, structured briefs, and plenty of planning.
And then… there’s this one.
The Problem: A Website Delay With Real-World Consequences
We were first approached by the team at the Studio of Saint Philomena to help with some video content - filming to help tell their story. Cameras in hand, we headed out to location, not knowing a much bigger conversation was about to unfold.
While filming, a casual chat turned into a serious issue: their website project had stalled. With just 12 days to go before 60,000 printed prayer cards were released - each linking to the not-yet-existent website via QR code — they still hadn’t even seen a concept.
Understandably, the stress was real.
They gave their original designer one final shot. When that didn’t work out, they came back and asked us the big question: “Can you help?”
They handed over the files with just two days to go.
And we said yes.
The Solution: A Two-Day Website Build
There’s a certain adrenaline that kicks in when you’re working on an urgent website design project with a hard, immovable deadline. The QR code was already printed and live - failure wasn’t an option.
In just 48 hours, we:
Designed, built and launched a five-page website
Matched the new branding, tone and purpose
Delivered a fast-turnaround website that was clear, clean, and functional
It was a challenge - but one we were proud to take on. And it meant the Studio of Saint Philomena could confidently launch their prayer cards across Aotearoa with a working, professional online presence.
The Outcome: Live, On Time, With Purpose
Was it ideal timing? Not even close. Was it possible? Absolutely - with clear communication, trust, and a lot of hustle.
We’re proud to support an organisation doing meaningful, faith-filled creative work in New Zealand, and even prouder to help when they needed it most.
What’s Next: Supporting Long-Term Vision
This was just Phase One. Now that the pressure has eased, we’re partnering with the Studio of Saint Philomena to:
Expand functionality
Add an online store
Refine content and imagery
Continue aligning the site with their evolving vision
It’s a perfect example of how sometimes the design process starts not with a brief, but with a problem - and solving that problem with care and speed is where we thrive.
