Two Lanterns Counselling: a counseling practice website, built from one brief.
Four pages for a one-counselor practice in Stockbridge, Edinburgh: the fee and session length on the home page, a sessions page that walks from the free introductory call to regular appointments and states confidentiality in two sentences, a first-person about page with a list of what the counselor will not do, and an inquiry form that asks only for a name, an email and a format preference. The design, the copy and the photographs were all produced from the brief below, then published to the web.
What the builder was given.
You start with a sentence and the chat asks you a few questions. Your answers become a brief like this one, and everything below was produced from it.
